A dream comes true for Najeeba when she receives ›The Call‹ and sets off for the ›Salt Roads‹ with her father and brother – this journey will change her family and her life forever. With this first part of a new trilogy, Okorafor follows up on successes such as the Black Panther comics and her award-winning Africanfuturist novels. »Her stories (…) use the framework of fantasy to explore (…) racial and gender inequality, political violence, the destruction of the environment, genocide and corruption.« (New York Times)
Moderated by Hadnet Tesfai.
The event will be held in English.
