The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE. Widely considered one of the foremost African authors writing today—and particularly one of the leading voices of South Africa since the end of apartheid, novelist Zakes Mda is back in Seattle—to the delight of those who have heard him in the past, and will get to hear him once again this evening. Presently based in both Johannesburg, South Africa, and Athens, Ohio, where he teaches at Ohio University, he is the author of numerous novels, The Heart of Redness among them. He is here this evening with a major autobiographical work, Sometimes There is a Void: Memoirs of an Outsider (Farrar, Straus and Giroux). "Mda's electric honesty is a live current running through his remarkably gorgeous, urgent, poetic, matter-of-fact memoir. Bur don't get lulled into thinking this is the book of one bravely truthful man's journey into self-expression. Mda has shaken off calcification, identity, ego, and walked us all into sovereignty and selfhood. Read this, and be prepared to examine your own soul as never before." –Alexandra Fuller. $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m., or in advance via www.brownpapertickets.com (1-800-838-3006). Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca). Preferred seating for Town Hall members. For more information on this evening, please call Elliott Bay at (206) 624-6600, Town Hall at (206) 652-4255, or see www.townhallseattle.org.
