Profile on Eric Miyeni and his A Letter from Paris

February 4th, 2010 by Nina

O'Mandingo!A Letter from ParisEric Miyeni will be launching his latest oeuvre, A Letter from Paris in Parkhurst, Johannesburg this evening. Ahead of the event, the Sowetan published this profile of the author and photographer:

ERIC Miyeni, the actor, radio personality and author, has come up with a journal of essays and photographs depicting French society. The journal will be launched today in Parkhurst, northern Johannesburg.

Called A Letter from Paris, the publication is poised to cause some interest in Johannesburg’s intellectual circles given the author’s background as a polemicist.

This journal follows Miyeni’s visit to Paris in 2007, accompanied by his trusty pen and camera, where he spent two weeks keenly observing the city’s architecture, its history, its people and culture.
