概要

Brought to you by Penguin.

Malorie Blackman OBE is one of Britain's best loved and most widely-read writers and this is her long-awaited autobiography.

For over thirty years, her books have helped to shape British culture, and inspired generations of younger readers and writers. The Noughts and Crosses series, started in 2000, sparked a new and necessary conversation about race and identity in the UK, and are already undisputed classics of twenty-first-century children's literature.

She is also a writer whose own life has been shaped by books, from her childhood in south London, the daughter of parents who moved to Britain from Barbados as part of the Windrush Generation, and who experienced a childhood that was both wonderful and marred by the everyday racism and bigotry of the era. She was told she could not apply to study her first love, literature, at university, in spite of her academic potential, but found a way to books and to a life in writing against a number of obstacles.

This book is an account of that journey, from a childhood surrounded by words, to the 83 rejection letters she received in response to sending out her first project, to the children's laureateship. It is an illuminating, inspiring and empowering account of the power of words to change lives, and the extraordinary life story of one of the world's greatest writers.

批評家のレビュー

This is a book of life. An inspiring life.
A powerful inspirational memoir that shows just what you can achieve with resilience, determination, ferocious hard work and talent.
This book is a frank, earnest, surprising, witty, vulnerable yet open insight into the journey, mind (or heart) and life of a literary icon.
Since childhood it has been an honour to read every story that Malorie Blackman has written.
It's a total privilege to get a glimpse in to Malorie's inner world. Her humour, boldness, sensitivity and humanity are as much on show here as any of her classics. She's a superhero of literature, goodness knows how many readers she's saved like me.
'It's very candid, and movingly so.... Not only in Blackman a grafter- even more, and in the face of more, than we already knew. She's someone with whom you do not mess. Good on her. She's earned it'
Just Sayin' is a phenomenal read, truly powerful.
Packed full of life, love, struggle and hope - you won't regret reading it.
The story of an extraordinary woman.
This is a book about survival and success.
