I will admit that i was not looking forward to attending the author come and speak. While feeling sick, i was still very entertained. He did a great job on being very honest with the audience and keeping them interested. It was refreshing to hear him read his own work. It really put a face to the story.
Also, the most interesting part of the presentation was hearing about him compare his native language to English. Hearing how he translated some thing from English directly to his native language. For example: night means the sky rolled over. That fascinated me, as well as him humor on how his skilled writing is considered normal in his home village.
