PHOTOS: Ainehi Edoro-Glines Discusses Her Book, Forest Imaginaries at the Wisconsin Book Festival
Ainehi Edoro-Glines took the stage at Madison's Central Library on October 15, bringing her debut book to one of the Midwest's most beloved literary gatherings. The Brittle Paper founder and editor presented Forest Imaginaries: How African Novels Think at the Wisconsin Book Festival, holding court in the Lower-Level Program Room for what had to be a conversation worth being in the room for.
The book itself asks a bold question: how do African novels actually think? Edoro-Glines has spent years building Brittle Paper into a home for African literary criticism and culture, so this first book feels like a natural extension of that life's work, a chance to put her deepest ideas on the page.
For anyone following African literature right now, watching Edoro-Glines move from digital editor to published author is one of the more exciting arcs in the space. The question is what she will say next.
