Award-winning Somali novelist Nuruddin Farah speaks during a question-and-answer session Feb. 14 at the School of Law, as Karen L. Tokarz, J.D., LL.M., professor of law and executive director of the Clinical Education and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) programs, looks on. Farah’s on-campus appearance was part of The Big Read communitywide literacy project, which invites individuals to read Ray Bradbury’s classic “Fahrenheit 451” and discuss its themes of book censorship. Farah’s second novel, “A Naked Needle” (1976), angered the Somalian government, which ordered his works banned and sentenced him to death. The session followed Farah’s Assembly Series talk and was co-sponsored by the law school’s ADR program, the Africa Public Interest Law & Dispute Resolution Project, the African Public Interest Law Student Society, the International and Area Studies program in Arts & Sciences and the African Student Association.
