09.18: Laila Lalami

2014-08-18 20:39:23| Powells Books Events Calendar

In this stunning work of historical fiction, Laila Lalami brings us the imagined memoirs of the first black explorer of America — a Moroccan slave whose testimony was left out of the official record. In 1527, the conquistador Panfilo de Narvaez sailed with a crew of 600 men. His goal was to claim what is now the Gulf Coast of the United States for the Spanish crown. Within a year of landing in Florida, only four members of his expedition were left alive, including a young slave called Estebanico. The Moor's Account (Pantheon) brilliantly captures Estebanico's voice and vision, giving us an alternate narrative for this famed expedition.
