Alexandra Fuller - Cocktail Hour Under the Tree of Forgetfulness
Wednesday, February 20, 7:30 p.m.
at National Geographic Live
1600 M Street, NW
Metro: Farragut North
Alexandra Fuller
Spend an evening with Alexandra Fuller, an award-winning writer and National Geographic contributor who has converted the experience of growing up amidst war and revolution into a powerful literary voice. Raised in Zimbabwe by English expats, Fuller’s coming-of-age experience during that country’s independence struggle provided material for two compelling memoirs, Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight and Cocktail Hour Under the Tree of Forgetfulness (Penguin, $15). Join us for a moving exploration of Africa—and beyond—in a conversation hosted by National Geographic Traveler editor at large Don George. The presentation will be followed by a book sale and signing.
