Description
The powerful, urgent memoir and manifesto on never giving up from Booker Prize-winning trailblazer, Bernardine Evaristo.
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. Drawing deeply on her own experiences, she offers a vital contribution to current conversations around social issues such as race, class, feminism, sexuality, and ageing.
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, and your life. It is Bernardine Evaristo's manifesto for never giving up.
