The floor was then opened to the audience, who posed questions about inspiration, plot development, and voice. The reading was followed by several questions from Professor Dews about Alfieri’s writing style. She also explained that as a world traveler, she frequently sets her novels in exotic locations like South Africa and Buenos Aires. She emphasized the importance of the relationship between the two protagonists, Tolliver and Veera, who struggle to overcome class differences throughout the book. She went on to discuss some of the main themes of her newest book, including the imposition of British culture on the native people of Nairobi. She explained that the discovery of the body is the most important moment in all of her mysteries. She concluded the reading after the body of the female protagonist’s uncle is found dead. Alfieri then took the stage and read the first and part of the second chapters of Strange Gods. Professor Carlos Dews opened the event by introducing Alfieri and welcoming her to John Cabot.
