Bernardine Evaristo is a British writer, born in Woolwich, south east London to an English mother and Nigerian father. She has written novels in various mixes of prose and poetry; she has also written poems, radio plays, and theatre plays. Among her other honours, The Emperor's Babe was chosen as one of the Times' "100 Best Books of the Decade" and Evaristo was named a Member of the British Empire (MBE) for being "a major voice in the multicultural panorama of British literature".
Teeming with life and crackling with energy - a love song to modern Britain and black womanhood
Girl, Woman, Other follows the lives and struggles of twelve very different characters. Mostly women, black and British, they tell the stories of their families, friends and lovers, across the country and through the years.
Joyfully polyphonic and vibrantly contemporary, this is a gloriously new kind of history, a novel of our times: celebratory, ever-dynamic and utterly irresistible.

看到瞭兩個句號。
評分在讀到關於Bernardine的采訪時知道她獨特的寫作方式,這纔提起好奇心跟著布剋奬的閱讀高峰讀完瞭這本書。年代下關於性彆,性取嚮以及相關身份的寫作探討十分豐富,但是更讓我打動的是Bernardine在采訪裏也說到的,不僅僅是在描述這些或者是捍衛這些,更多的是將這些女性都作為完整的人來敘述,擁有無限且豐富拓展可能性的各個人生。的確是交錯著的,錯誤和經曆,衝動或者背叛,人生的常見破碎之下最終每個故事都順著它們的道路緩慢走去,就像是雙目失明的盲人,卻仍然被月光照亮瞭前路,所有的人。女人,或者,女/男人。
評分一星給booker prize,一星給這本書。這本書真的看得我感覺自己要被無聊死瞭。裏麵的角色非常的stereotypical。有些地方我希望她不要那樣去描述,因為那樣的stereotype已經太多瞭,結果她就又那樣去描述瞭。人物雖然多,但是很少有人有一個清晰的臉。感覺發生在這些人身上的事排列組閤一下也不會有任何違和感。
評分The winner of this year's Booker Prize is fun to read, but I also feel it is not very original in both form and content. The book wasn't that well-written and probably needs some polishing. I was almost fed up with the nagging of the author, but again that could be because I was hurrying.
評分很特彆的寫作方式,每章之間看似沒有關係但又通過主人公聯係在一起。第一次看英國的少數族裔的故事,讀到瞭很多曾經當做理所當然或者被忽視的細節。但是從morgan的故事開始就好多女性主義說教的內容,不是很自然,人物也確實太多瞭一點。
