Bernardine Evaristo Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Bernardine Evaristo

1/ Girl, Woman, Other is unsuitable reading material for 17-18 year olds, apparently, and is on a list of books to be banned in South Dakota 'all of which are by or about people of color and/or queer people'. Funny that. See Guardian article in 2/ https://bookriot.com/rapid-city-area-schools-censorship/

What a night announcing Piranesi by Susanna Clarke the @WomensPrize winner 2021 & then partying in the open air for hours as we all caught up after a pandemic kept us apart. Pls read the other fantastic shortlisted books. Now to catch up on my TBR pile. Still buzzin, can't sleep https://t.co/coOCDfN8ji https://t.co/OpyrztAl8g

Little has created a lively, believable and likeable female protagonist whose relatability lies both in her strength and vulnerability. I imagine many young people have been waiting for just this novel to speak to them and about them. It is a generational first.

Looking forward to reading this debut novel about a queer young British-Somali man with schizoaffective disorder by such a scintillating wordsmith as @IAmDiriyeOsman. @PolariPrize-winner for his debut story collection, Fairytales for Lost Children (2014). Publisher @teamangelica. https://t.co/t7Ra3XeIRH

'Invisible to Invaluable: Unleashing the Power of Midlife Women' by Jane Evans & Carole Russell @Voices4Real is so conversational it felt like I was sitting in a room with them as they chatted. #reasonstoread- it's personal & intersectional while challenging society & ourselves. https://t.co/lksPbdZFZd

This is such an exquisitely-written and profound novel by one of our most supremely gifted writers. He sets the standard in the sky and it's going on my TBR again list.

Arundhati Roy @arundhatiroyauthor has led an exceptional life which she writes about with her extraordinary narrative brilliance... Read this book to find out how this incredible writer and woman was formed by her childhood and the earlier decades of her radical and rebellious life.
