Teju Cole, the award-winning, Nigerian-American writer of Open City was invited to present a talk about Lagos, the African supercity, at the Open Book Festival held at the Fugard Studio in Cape Town, South Africa, on September 9. Thanks to Mandy J Watson from brainwavez.org, a collective of culture and tech writers to which I now belong (we are like the Illuminati…but with more tea…and fewer triangles, too), I was able to secure press passes to the event and meet one of my favourite writers.

Below are pictures I took from the event. For words on meeting Teju click on the following link: Teju Cole Examines The African Supercity.
