Faye is a Rwandan-French novelist, songwriter, and hip-hop artist whose new novel follows Milan, a boy in France whose family ties to Rwanda draw him back repeatedly to uncover family secrets and confront the past. Godwin is a Zimbabwe-born journalist and author of six non-fiction books, including Mukiwa and When a Crocodile Eats the Sun. The event is in English and free with an RSVP.
