Join the Cheuse Center, Busboys and Poets, and Restless Books for the American Launch of Olufemi Terry's debut novel, Wilderness of Mirrors. Terry will be in conversation with novelist Helon Habila. Exquisite and absorbing, this debut from Caine Prize-winning author Terry captures the heady abandon of early adulthood in an Africa still reeling from the lasting effects of colonialism and racial Partition. “An unsentimental portrait of young adulthood in a city both beguiling and perilous, and which reflects Africans as they are too rarely depicted: hybrid, modern, and shaped by their own profound contradictions. Terry’s pared but illuminating prose captures the weight of its protagonists’ search for their place in the world.” — Lola Shoneyin, author of The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives
