Nuruddin Farah: Crossbones (a reading and dialogue with Peter Hitchcock)
Nuruddin Farah, prominent Somali novelist on the publication of his latest novel, Crossbones and a dialogue with Peter Hitchcock
February 1, 2012
The first African to win the coveted Neustadt International Prize for Literature, Nuruddin Farah has been described by Salman Rushdie as “one of the finest contemporary African novelists.” Educated in Somalia and India, Farah was hounded into exile by the Somali government in the Seventies for his writing. Farah has since lived in several African countries as well as holding teaching positions in Europe and the United States (he currently lives in Cape Town, South Africa). The author of over a dozen books, Farah recently completed his third trilogy of novels with the publication of Crossbones.
Committed to “keeping his country alive by writing about it” and short-listed for the Nobel Prize in Literature, Farah visited the Graduate Center to discuss Crossbones, Somalia and the crisis of East Africa.
