Manifesto: On Never Giving Up by Bernardine Evaristo

3.0

Lives matter: “the written word is how I process everything,” says Bernardine Evaristo, and in Manifesto she makes clear why. A brave life lived with the everyday petty silliness of racism which she keeps well in its place, and marked by activism and generosity as someone who’s done more to help establish Black British writing and Black British writers than almost anyone I can think of. Following her deserved Booker win (it seems extraordinary that she’s the first Black British woman to do so), can official National Treasure status be far behind?
