Wyclef Jean

The library’s getting a little spicy tonight. The ever emotional, patriotic and dramatic Wyclef Jean will be talking about his new book Purpose: An Immigrant’s Story and singing some classic acoustic jams. From the mean streets of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to the perhaps meaner Brooklyn and Newark, N.J., avenues, Clef wants to make sure you hear his version of his story. Much of the book focuses on his love triangle with singer Lauryn Hill and his (still) wife Claudenette, and the passionate boom and bust of the Fugees. To justify the salacious dishing, Clef told CNN, “Someone’s going to end up writing it in history so I have to make sure that I write the truth.” -Allyn Gaestel
