The 3rd Ghanaian Literature Week has ended.  I thank all those who participated by writing, reading and discussing Ghanaian literature.

Let’s keep reading Ghanaian, African and world literature.  Lately I think that readers, especially those who read deeply, are an endangered species.  So let’s keep building an audience for literature, especially in Ghana and Africa.

The event will be back next year.  I’ll be consulting some folks in Ghana on how we can incorporate off-line events into the week

Until next year, everyone.  Thank You.
