Oprah Winfrey, Facebook and the websites Oprah.com and CNN.com introduced Nigerian author Uwem Akpan to the world last night, as Oprah interviewed him on his book of short stories - and her latest book club selection - Say You’re One of Them.

The event, a live webcast, took place in the wee hours of the South African night - but if you missed it, you can watch the show as it unfolded at Oprah.com. CNN’s Anderson Cooper joined the conversation, as well as fellow book club members from around the world.
