From the publisher’s announcement:

Two Lines Press is coming to Brooklyn with Igiaba Scego Two Lines Press is headed to Brooklyn this weekend for the Brooklyn Book Festival. Each year, the festival welcomes more than 200 publishers, presses, booksellers and literary organizations to its popular Festival Day Literary Marketplace in Downtown Brooklyn. Come say hello!

Sunday, September 22, 10am - 6pm, Booth #617 Italian author, journalist, researcher, and activist, Igiaba Scego, takes the stage to talk about her novel, Beyond Babylon, translated by Aaron Robertson. Sunday, September 22, 5:00 pm, Borough Hall Media Room 209 Joralemon Street, Brooklyn The Movement of People: Modern Nomads and Migrants We live in an era of great global movements, a time when migrants and refugees are often dehumanized and attacked. But fiction provides a powerful tool to look deeper into individual stories. Whether it’s the journey of Bangladeshi immigrants in Italy in Amitav Ghosh’s Gun Island or two half-sisters who meet in Tunisia in Somali-Italian author Igiaba Scego’s Beyond Babylon or a Nigerian grad student adrift in Europe in Helon Habila’s Travelers, the characters in these novels explore urgent questions of power and privilege, borders and home in today’s world. Moderated by Michael Reynolds.

Some sketches I did @bkbfcomics yesterday.

The last one is very special because I show it to the artist and he told me that’s the first time he saw someone else drew him. He signed on my sketchbook again with his character from Bertolt! It was precious!
