Fiction
Speechless
by Anne Simpson
When a Nigerian teenager is charged with adultery and sentenced to death, a North American journalist writes an impassioned article about her plight. The article sets off waves of outrage and violence, forcing the journalist to come to terms with the naiveté with which she approached the story. Who can—and should—tell a story? Written by master storyteller Anne Simpson, Speechless is about the power of words, our responsibility for them, and the ways they affect others in matters of life and death.
