“On Thursday, January 24, 杏吧原创 University’s Institute of\u00a0African Studies\u00a0hosted a formal launch of Kagiso Molope’s new novel\u00a0Such a Lonely, Lovely Road <\/em>which\u00a0<\/em>is already garnering acclaim in the Canadian literary community. Ms. Molope’s celebrated novels are all situated in South Africa, either in the years immediately preceding the downfall of apartheid or else in the years immediately after the birth of the so-called “new South Africa.” Her work consistently\u00a0grapples with topics often considered taboo in South Africa, such as sex outside of marriage, violence against women, and men who love men. At the launch ceremony attended by guests from\u00a0within and outside of\u00a0杏吧原创,\u00a0two faculty members, Professor Nduka Otiono (IAS) and Professor Susanne M.\u00a0Klausen (History and IAS), engaged\u00a0Ms. Molope in a lively\u00a0conversation about her creative process, her\u00a0themes and style, her African-Canadian\u00a0experience, and her future\u00a0creative agenda. The event was anchored by Professor Monica Paterson (Interdisciplinary Studies\u00a0and IAS).\u00a0The IAS is grateful to\u00a0Octopus Bookstore which provided copies of\u00a0Such a Lonely, Lovely Road<\/em>\u00a0for sale to\u00a0members of the audience. Thank you to everyone who attended this wonderful event!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
