Bernardine Evaristo and her editor on their working relationship and winning the Booker

Bernardine Evaristo sits down with her longtime editor, Simon Prosser to discuss her career to date, from Lara, right through to her Booker prize-winning novel Girl, Woman, Other. Her new book, Manifesto, is out now: amzn.to/3yniXSY
Manifesto is Bernardine Evaristo's intimate and fearless account of how she did it. From a childhood steeped in racism from neighbours, priests and even some white members of her own family, to discovering the arts through her local youth theatre; from stuffing her belongings into bin bags, always on the move between temporary homes, to exploring many romantic partners both toxic and loving, male and female, and eventually finding her soulmate; from setting up Britain's first theatre company for Black women in the eighties to growing into the trailblazing writer, theatre-maker, teacher, mentor and activist we see today - Bernardine charts her rebellion against the mainstream and her life-long commitment to community and creativity. And, through the prism of her extraordinary experiences, she offers vital insights into the nature of race, class, feminism, sexuality and ageing in modern Britain.

Loved Ms Evaristo's Girl,Woman,Other. All of the 12 characters were awesome. They are quite rebellious and gutsy!!
