51BKnXNJAQL._SL500_AA300_.jpgMy colleague Alain Sissao got to interview one of my favorite writers down at UCLA the other week.  I'm so jealous, but at least I got to see the video Alain made of their chat.

Now I randomly notice that Mabanckou has a children's book...

Présentation de l'éditeur " J'ai écrit cette histoire de mon enfance parce que, même devenu adulte, je suis resté cet enfant qui court après sa Soeur-Etoile. Et c'est peut-être aussi pour cela que je suis devenu un écrivain. " Alain Mabanckou.
available at an exaggerated price on amazon.fr...
