Geneva Writers' Group at BooksBooksBooks in Lausanne, for Offshoots readings
Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - The Geneva Writers’ Group is celebrating two major events in the run-up to its annual international writers conference. The 20th anniversary of the group’s Offshoots magazine is out. And Petina Gappah, one of the group’s members, has just won the Guardian First Book Award 2009.
Gappah is a trade lawyer in Geneva who has written a collection of stories about her native Zimbabwe. Her book, An Elegy for Easterly, is only the second collection of short stories to win the award.
Gappah’s story from the collection, “The cracked Pink Lips of Rosie’s…”, was published in the October 2007 edition of Offshoots, the magazine of collected writing published every two years by the group.
