One of the most celebrated Black British writers narrating Black British womanhood, Bernardine Evaristo, discusses her newest novel, the Booker Prize-shortlisted and Gordon Burn Prize-nominated Girl, Woman, Other.
This polyvocal ‘fusion fiction’ novel, spanning over 100 years, is about twelve primarily Black British womxn of different ages, sexualities, classes and cultural backgrounds. In her poetic prose, which wields and plays with convention, Evaristo portrays the pleasure of girls' and women's friendships, the politics of refusing gender ascription, Black women's sexual politics, and the multiplicity of Black British womxn’s subjectivities.
How to Write Pleasure will explore these themes and engage the book as a genealogy, considering how this form shapes the narrative and relates to adrienne maree brown’s lineages of pleasure.
How to Write Pleasure will be moderated by Nydia A. Swaby of The Politics of Pleasure Collective.
