the 12th lagos book & art festival, organized by the committee for relevant art (cora), kicks off today at the national theatre in iganmu. i had a chance to speak with journalist/cora founder toyin akinosho last weekend, and the festival is packed with readings, discussions, music and performances to engage and enlighten. you can check out the program schedule here.

@ms afropolitan: sorry i turned off comments on that blog, just wanted to vent w/o worrying about the consequences! but thanks for this. i am making new habits, largely getting up at the buttcrack of dawn and today, for instance, am writing at a cybercafe in a hotel since we've been without power for five days. if u don't laugh, you'll cry, but you still have to get it done, right? ;) i met a journalist at the lagos book fest who talked abt starting a writers retreat in jos where people could come anytime they like. i think such a place is long overdue.
