International Writers Series: Patrice Nganang and Mukoma wa Ngugi

Nganang will be launching his new novel, Mount Pleasant, a masterful tour-de-force of transformation in early twentieth-century Cameroon; while Ngugi will discuss his latest work, Mrs. Shaw, an explosive vision of love and exile that shifts between an imagined East African country and Madison, Wisconsin.
