From one of Britain's most celebrated writers of color, Girl, Woman, Other is a magnificent portrayal of the intersections of identity and a moving and hopeful story of an interconnected group of black British women. Winner of the 2019 Booker Prize and short-listed for the Gordon Burn Prize, Girl, Woman, Other paints a vivid portrait of the state of post-Brexit Britain, as well as looking back to the legacy of Britain's colonial history in Africa and the Caribbean.

Barrington, geboren und aufgewachsen in Antigua, liebt seine Retro-Anzüge und hat immer das passende Shakespeare-Zitat parat. Mit seiner Frau Carmel führt er ein beschauliches Leben in Hackney, London: zwei Kinder, ein Haus, Ruhestand. Doch unter der perfekten Oberfläche führt Barry ein Doppelleben. Sein Freund Morris ist ebenfalls nach England ausgewandert – denn die beiden führen seit jeher eine heimliche Beziehung. Während sich ihre Ehe auf den Abgrund zubewegt, entscheidet Barry, dass er endlich offen mit Morris zusammenleben will.

L'autrice del fortunato "Ragazza, donna, altro", racconta qui la schiavitù in un modo nuovo, diverso. Immagina un mondo in cui la tratta atlantica degli schiavi viene ribaltata lungo la linea del colore: sono i neri ad aver fondato un impero coloniale a partire dal Regno Unito di Grande Ambossa, e i bianchi a essere razziati dall'Europa e trasportati come schiavi al di là del mare, nelle Isole del Giappone Occidentale. Ripercorriamo la storia di Doris alternando la contemporaneità della protagonista e il suo personale viaggio verso la libertà.

Il filo parte da Amma, drammaturga nera britannica in procinto di mettere in scena la sua prima opera fuori dalla nicchia, e collega le altre undici storie, tutte diverse, tutte importanti per la costituzione di un arazzo complicato e meraviglioso. Bernardine Evaristo, prima vincitrice nera del prestigioso Booker Prize, ci regala la rara e preziosa possibilità di guardare con occhi nuovi il nostro mondo, quel mondo che ci comprende e ci sovrasta e di cui, vuoi per pigrizia e vuoi per incapacità umana, siamo sempre e comunque troppo ignoranti.
