A Q & A and book signing will follow the talk.

On Friday, Sept. 6, Dr. Iweala will speak at noon in the Central Library auditorium on the writing of "Speak No Evil," a coming-of-age novel about two privileged teens from different backgrounds who share a secret that sets off a chain of events with devastating consequences.
