Bernardine Evaristo: Girl, Woman, Other

Talk, reading, Q&A

Megan is wild and likes wearing pants. Conflict is inevitable, because her mother wants a well-behaved, dress-wearing daughter. Along with eleven other girls and women* of color, Megan forms the center of this Booker Award-winning novel. This breathtakingly written book fans out the struggles and longings of its characters in a kaleidoscopic way, telling the stories of identity, gender, and racism in alternating perspectives.
