Upcoming events: Conversations with Siphiwe Gloria Ndlovu and Sifiso Mzobe, and a reading with Catalyst founder and author, Jessica Powers     An Afternoon with Siphiwe Gloria Ndlovu Friday, April 9, at 2:00 pm EDT Mercer University welcomes Siphiwe Gloria Ndlovu for a reading and discussion of her book The Theory of Flight. The Theory of Flight is an award-winning novel set in an unnamed country in southern Africa. With the lightest of touches and an overlay of magical-realist beauty, this novel sketches, through the lives of a few families and the fate of a single patch of ground, decades of national history from colonial occupation through the freedom struggle. The South African release of the novel earned Siphiwe the Barry Ronge Fiction Prize, and in a starred review, Publishers Weekly praised the novel, writing, "This transcendent and powerful testament to the indomitable human spirit is not to be missed."

The event will be live stream on the University’s YouTube channel. Sifiso is the author of Young Blood, a coming-of-age novel set in Umlazi, a township on the outskirts of Durban, South Africa.

Candid and unapologetic, Young Blood is the story of the intricate balance of circumstance and choice, swift gain and incredible loss, as Sipho finds out how far he can push his luck before the damage is irrevocable—and the consequences deadly. The novel has won several awards including the prestigious Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature in Africa. Young Blood releases on April 13. Event Information | Order Young Blood
