Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere

You are invited to a riveting encounter with the hottest new talent in Trinidadian letters, Anna Levi. She is going to spoil the audience with readings from her new novel, Madinah Girls, plus selections from other recent work. The first print of Madinah Girl has sold-out and garnered some rave reviews: “Madinah Girl offers an unflinching depiction of life in the margins of contemporary Trinidad that is guaranteed to shock any reader unprepared for its torrential display of drug and alcohol excess, child brides and domestic violence, sexual abuse, and maximum “muddercunt”-style profanity” (Kevin Meehan, Palimpsest, 2018). Come to celebrate and partake in Caribbean creative writing.

This event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact: hebble@ufl.edu.
