Bulawayo noviolet5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Violet was her mother’s name, and No means “with,” so she chose the name NoViolet to honor her mother’s memory. As we settled in for the evening, NoViolet shared the intimate story of how she chose her pen name. The event was an opportunity to meet and listen to NoViolet Bulawayo, the most translated author in modern Zimbabwean history. However, I quickly found myself at ease as I mingled with other book enthusiasts in the room. As an avid reader and book lover, I was excited to attend, but I wasn’t familiar with the format or what the event would entail. Recently, I attended my first Carnegie Circle Donor Event, and I must say, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Charlotte Mecklenburg Library Foundation board member ![]()
