You are warmly invited to this event on 27^th October with French-Rwandan author and rapper Gaël Faye discussing his award-winning novel, Small Country, just translated in English and out in U.S with Hogarth.

Already an international sensation and prize-winning bestseller in France, Small Country  is an evocative coming-of-age story of a young boy, a lost childhood and a shattered homeland.

“I was born with this story. It ran in my blood. I belonged to it.”
