Tayari's Blog: So Disappointed!

I was so thrilled a couple of weeks ago to be chosen as a special correspondent for the Pen World Voices Festival. I was assigned a certain number of events and I was to attend the sessions and the blog on the pen site. Today at 6pm was to be my first assignment: "History In The Mirror" --three writers talk about art and activism. I was dying to meet Kenyan writer, Binyavanga Wainaina.

Sadly, I think I am just too sick to go. Even if I were to try to be a hero, my coughing would disrupt the event. I went to the doctor today and she prescribed me some cough medicine with codeine--guaranteed to know me out-- but I didn't take it because I was hoping to be healthy enough to go.

Well, I'm not.

(And I'll just end with that pun.)
