Laila Lalami reads from The Moor's Account, the story of the first black explorer of America—a Moroccan slave who was left out of the history books.
Praise for The Moor's Account:
"Laila Lalami has fashioned an absorbing story of one of the first encounters between Spanish conquistadores and Native Americans, a frightening, brutal, and much-falsified history that here, in her brilliantly imagined fiction, is rewritten to give us something that feels very like the truth." —Salman Rushdie
