Eloghosa Osunde to Join Masobe Books for The Circle in Abuja

Masobe Books will host Nigerian writer Eloghosa Osunde for an interactive edition of The Circle on September 27 at Roving Heights bookstore in Abuja. The event, scheduled for 3 p.m., will bring readers together with the author for an afternoon of conversation around her work, including her latest book, Necessary Fiction. Hosted in collaboration with Roving Heights, the gathering is part of Masobe Books’ ongoing efforts to create spaces for readers to encounter writers beyond the page. Entry to the event is free.

The Circle will feature a question-and-answer session with Osunde, alongside a surprise element, before concluding with a book signing and small bites. Copies of Necessary Fiction will be available for purchase at the venue, giving attendees an opportunity to have the book signed by the author. Osunde is known for fiction and nonfiction that engage questions of identity, community, intimacy, and contemporary Nigerian life, making the event an opportunity for readers to encounter the writer’s work in a more intimate setting.

The Abuja gathering will take place at Roving Heights on Gimbiya Street, Garki, Abuja, with readers invited to attend the free event from 3 p.m. Masobe Books has encouraged readers to join the conversation and meet Osunde as The Circle brings together literature, discussion, and the communal experience of reading. With a Q&A, book signing, refreshments, and copies of Necessary Fiction available on site, the event offers Abuja readers a chance to engage directly with one of Nigeria’s contemporary literary voices.
