The second iteration of SAL's new book club, BOOKENDS, will be discussing the work of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on April 28 and May 5, before and after Adichie's May 2 talk at Benaroya Hall as part of SAL's Literary\Arts Series.

BOOKENDS, a SAL book club on Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, meets at Elliott Bay Book Company at 11:00am on April 28, 2012 and May 5, 2012. BOOKENDS will be led by WITS writer Aaron Counts. Counts is a WITS writer-in-residence at Chief Sealth High School, the co-author of Reclaiming Black Manhood, and is the founding editor of Unblind Communications.

Participants are encouraged to read Adichie's The Thing Around Your Neck, view her TED talk The Danger of a Single Story, and read "The American Embassy," which was in the O. Henry Prize anthology from 2003.
