Authors On Tour – Live! show

Summary: When Ishmael Beah‘s A Long Way Gone was published in 2007, it soared to the top of bestseller lists, becoming an instant classic: a harrowing account of Sierra Leone’s civil war and the fate of child soldiers that “everyone in the world should read” (The Washington Post). Beah, whom Dave Eggers has called “arguably the most read African writer in contemporary literature,” reads from and discusses his debut novel Radiance of Tomorrow, an affecting, tender parable about postwar life in Sierra Leone.
