Chigozie Obioma & Simon Sylvester (2015 Event)

Chigozie Obioma’s thrillingly assured debut novel The Fishermen
is set in small-town Nigeria, while Simon Sylvester’s seductive
debut The Visitors unfolds on a remote Scottish island. Yet
despite their disparate locations, these stories are united by
the presence of mysterious outsider figures, whose unsettling
effect on the community drives the tension. These two highly
promising authors share their ideas with Economist literary
editor Fiammetta Rocco in this event, recorded live at the
Edinburgh International Book Festival.
