The African Samurai by Craig Shreve – By the Lake Book Club

Presented by: City of Toronto, Humber College and Toronto International Festival of Authors

Join Craig Shreve for a conversation about his new book. Based on the little-known true story of the only samurai of African descent, this historical novel tells the tale of a former 16th century slave and soldier, who became the first foreign-born samurai. Shreve gives the reader both mythical-like battles along with lyrical ruminations on freedom.

By the Lake Book Club offers six Tuesday-night events, between February and December featuring leading Canadian authors in conversation with Humber College graduates and alumni. Each in-person event includes a reading, discussion, audience Q&A, book-signing and American sign language interpretation. Virtual events are subtitled live and provide online viewing and audio.

Registration begins on January 4, 2024 at 10 a.m. Phone lines are open during business hours for more information and tickets.
