Alexandra Fuller witty, passionate

Alexandra brought her own brand of political and cultural commentary to Laramie Wednesday evening during her speaking and reading engagement sponsored by the MFA program at UW. Her life in Africa is the inspiration for the very successful Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight and its sequel, Scribbling the Cat. She sees noticeable parallels of Wyoming's economy and its people to that of Africa, and her experiences there and in Wyoming have given her an ability and authority to speak to a range of global problems--those of global warming, politics, and the human toll and consequences of every stage of war.
