A Must Read!

I am currently reading, "The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears" by Dinaw Mengestu.

Mengestu is a 28 year old Georgetown grad, originally from Ethiopia, and this is his debut novel. I haven't read something this beautiful in a long, long while, and today it won the Quill award for Best First Time Novel. Well deserved. I am excited that he will be speaking at the Village Voice Bookstore here in Paris in late November.

He writes, "Where is the grand narrative of my life? The one I could spread out and read for signs and clues as to what to expect next?" What an incredibly insightful use of words - tell me that doesn't make you pause and think.

Trust me on this one, treat yourself...
