\u201cWe are super excited as Marlon James is one of the most loved and recognized writers in the world and he is coming here to share with us his amazing writing. It will be an evening for book lovers and writers here in Antigua and Barbuda and our neighboring islands in the Eastern Caribbean\u2019\u201d explains HaMa Productions\u2019 Mitzi Allen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Allen adds that an event like this needs partnership that reflect the joy of reading: \u201cWe are delighted that Sugar Ridge, fast becoming one of our top cultural venues, will be hosting Marlon. We are also very happy to be working with the Best of Books who have supported many literary events over the last 20 years. We are inviting 20 young writers 18-25 who will have an opportunity to meet Marlon and learn about his journey from graphic artist to international, award winning writer.\u201d<\/p>

Marlon James won the Man Booker Prize 2015 for his third novel \u2018A Brief History of Seven Killings\u2019 and \u2018Black Leopard, Red Wolf\u2019 is on the New York Times best sellers list since its debut in February 2019.It has been described as \u201c\u2026the kind of novel I never realized I was missing until I read it,\u2026..It\u2019s something very new that feels old, in the best way. I cannot wait for the next installment.\u201d Neil Gaiman.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The film rights for \u2018Black Leopard, Red Wolf\u2019 was bought by Michael B. Jordon’s company Outliers Society and Warner Bros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James\u2019 earlier novels \u2018John Crow\u2019s Devil\u2019 and \u201cThe Book of Night Women\u2019 are firm favorites with readers.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

An evening with Marlon James will feature readings by James, a Q and A session, book signing and a display of books by James and Antiguan and Barbudan writers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
