Headlined by Nana Awere Damoah and Kofi Akpabli, the reading offers patrons a lively evening of literary pleasure and though-provoking discussions on Ghanaian contemporary life.
Kofi Akpabli will charm patrons with excerpts from his books Romancing Ghanaland and Tickling the Ghanaian while Nana Awere Damoah will entice the audience from his repertoire Sebitically Speaking and I Speak of Ghana.
With 10 books between them, the two writers continue on their mission to make reading hip again, and to take writing and reading to the level of pop culture.
They believe that reading should be done for pleasure as well, and not only for exams and industry. According to both writers, the event also aims to diversify the social offerings currently available on the entertainment scene.
"Elsewhere, public readings and book signing are top-notch events that receive distinguished patronage. As society is pushing for the consumption of made-in-Ghana goods, let’s not forget about made-in-Ghana books", they said.
In their readings so far, the two have received sponsorship from THREADEX, WearGhana, Norte Sobolo and AJ's Housekeeping Services.
A special feature aboutSaturday’s reading is that for the first time, the two are joined by a Guest Reader, Alba Kunadu Sumprim, author of the Imported Ghanaian and A Place of Beautiful Nonsense.
“Ticklin’ the Sebiticalis” runs between 4.30pm and 7pm, and involves four rounds of readings from the works of the three accomplished Ghanaian authors. There will be interludes of poetry and music.
