Random Bernardine Evaristo quote

4 quotes

With all of my books I'm interested in where people come from in relation to who they are.

I'm not interested in any stereotypes whatsoever.

When you're a slave you dream
of either owning slaves or freeing them.

I have a term I came up with called fusion fiction – that's what it felt like, with the absence of full stops, the long sentences. The form is very free-flowing and it allowed me to be inside the characters' heads and go all over the place – the past, the present. For me, there's always a level of experimentation – I'm not happy writing what we might call traditional novels.
