10×10: Indie Author Book Fair

February 15 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

THE HONORABLE MINU: Fonio Pale Ale

In West African folklore, there is a tale called “The Honorable Minu” about a peasant who must travel from his small village to the city of Accra. During his travels, he asks about who owns the houses, ships, and other items he discovers in the city, and each time, the answer he receives is “minu,” which is the local dialect for “I don’t know.”

Believing Minu to be a wealthy man, the peasant is astonished by the lavish life of this individual, until he passes a funeral procession and asks who is in the casket, and is once again told, “minu.” After finding out that “Minu” died like all men do, the peasant returned home grateful to be alive and for the comparatively fewer possessions he had.

The moral of this story is relatively straightforward, but we at Hot Plate believe in the power of storytelling—whether it comes from an oral or written tradition—which is why we’re so excited to team up with a bunch of local authors who will be holding a small book fair during the day in our taproom.
