Book Launch: Ishmael Beah in celebration of his new novel Radiance of Tomorrow. In conversation with CBC Ottawa's Adrian Harewood. When Beah’s A Long Way Gone was published in 2007, it soared to the top of bestseller lists, becoming an instant classic: a harrowing account of Sierra Leone’s civil war and the fate of child soldiers. Now Beah has returned with his first novel, an affecting, tender parable about postwar life in Sierra Leone. With the gentle lyricism of a dream and the moral clarity of a fable, Radiance of Tomorrow is a powerful novel about preserving what means the most to us, even in uncertain times. It marks the start of an exciting new chapter for Ishmael Beah. Tickets are $10/$5 low income, students, unwaged. They're available at the store at 116 Third Ave. Books will be available at the event, and you can have them signed after the reading.
