Yesterday was the evening for the African Writers at the poetry cafe in central London. As usual it was vibrant and exciting, despite the hot and sticky weather, we enjoyed listening to readings from African writers residing in Britain, the main focus was Libyan writer Hisham Matar debut novel (In the country of men), which is enjoying wide reviews in British newspapers.
