Join us on 10/8 at 7 pm-8:30 pm at the Piper Writing House as we discuss the compelling novel Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor.

Refreshments will be served. Guests are also welcome to participate in our optional book exchange: bring a book, take a book.

“Death of the Author reads like three novels in one, or maybe four, about fame and family, culture and change, the power of story, the writer’s life… and robots. This one has it all.”
—George R.R. Martin
