Uzodinma (Uzo) Iweala discusses his critically-acclaimed novel Speak No Evil. The story focuses on the relationship between two privileged teenagers in Washington D.C. from very different families - one Nigerian-American, and the other from Washington insiders. The friends make a revelation which sets off a chain of events with devastating consequences, and forces them to face the consequences of living in a conformist, conservative society.

Iweala will be at the Franklin Park Reading Series: Ninth Anniversary Event on March 12 at 8 pm (Franklin Park, 618 St. Johns Place, Brooklyn).
