Frau. Schwarz. Lesbisch. Prekär. Schriftstellerin. Vierzig Jahre lang waren das die Stigmata, mit denen Bernardine Evaristo konfrontiert wurde. Doch von Anfang an hat sie dagegen angekämpft, dagegen angeschrieben, sich eingesetzt. Für einen Raum der Vielfalt und Toleranz für alle. In »Manifesto« geht die Tochter einer englischen Mutter und eines nigerianischen Vaters, aufgewachsen im armen Süden Londons, erstmals die Stationen ihres Lebens durch, die Höhen und die Tiefen, und erzählt davon, wie sie schließlich die erste Schwarze Booker-Preisträgerin wurde – ein Manifest dafür, niemals aufzugeben. Ein augenöffnendes Buch und mitreißendes Leseerlebnis. »Bernardine Evaristo gehört zu denen, die überall und von allen gelesen werden sollten.« Elif Shafak Ausstattung: 16-seitiger Bildteil, davon 16 Bilder s/w, 8 in Farbe

Bernardine Evaristo's 2019 Booker win - the first by a Black woman - was a revolutionary moment both for British culture and for her. After three decades as a trailblazing writer, teacher and activist, she moved from the margins to centre stage, taking her place in the spotlight at last. Her journey was a long one, but she made it, and she made history. MANIFESTO is Bernardine Evaristo's intimate and inspirational, no-holds-barred account of how she did it, refusing to let any barriers stand in her way. She charts her creative rebellion against the mainstream and her life-long commitment to the imaginative exploration of 'untold' stories. And drawing deeply on her own experiences, she offers a vital contribution to current conversations around social issues such as race, class, feminism, sexuality and aging. This is a unique book about staying true to yourself and to your vision. It's about how to be unstoppable - in your craft, your work, your life. It is Bernardine Evaristo's manifesto for never giving up.

Barrington Jedidiah Walker is seventy-four and leads a double life. Born and bred in Antigua, he's lived in Hackney since the sixties. A flamboyant, wise-cracking local character with a dapper taste in retro suits and a fondness for quoting Shakespeare, Barrington is a husband, father and grandfather - but he is also secretly homosexual and in a relationship with his great childhood friend, Morris. Mr Loverman is a ground-breaking exploration of Britain's older Caribbean community, which explodes cultural myths and fallacies and shows the extent of what can happen when people fear the consequences of being true to themselves.

It's a hot summer afternoon. Tension is in the air. A gang of youths on bikes gathers outside a chip shop. A teenage boy is stabbed and left bleeding on the street. The boy's mother wonders how this could have happened to her son. She is full of questions, but when the answers lie so close to home, are they really what she wants to hear?

Presents an imaginative inversion of the transatlantic slave trade - in which 'whytes' are enslaved by black people. This title brings the shackles and cries of long-ago barbarity uncomfortably close and raises questions about the society. číst celé
