Dinaw Mengestu and Lucas Wittmann

Acclaimed Ethiopian-American novelist Dinaw Megestu’s latest novel examines the fate of a friendship over two continents and many decades. All Our Names traces the story of two men who come of age during an African revolution–one who stays, one who flees and eventually builds a new life and falls in love in America. Telling two stories–one in the present, one in the past, one in the present–All Our Names brilliantly conveys the weight of history, both personal of political, and the losses that mark all lives.

Joining Dinaw will be Lucas Wittmann, books editor at The Daily Beast.
