Candice Carty-Williams in conversation with Bernardine Evaristo
Candice Carty-Williams, author of the fastest-selling debut novel of 2019, Queenie, talks to Bernardine Evaristo who won the 2019 Booker Prize for Girl, Woman, Other.
A sparkling and razor-sharp conversation marks the end of a remarkable year for two authors.
Queenie has been one of the breakthrough novels of the year, winning over readers with its compassionate and funny depiction of a young black woman whose life seems to be spinning out of control. Front Row asked its author, Candice Carty-Williams, to choose a cultural figure she鈥檇 like to talk to. She selected fellow novelist Bernardine Evaristo who this year became the first black woman to win the Booker Prize for Girl, Woman, Other, sharing it with Margaret Atwood. That shared win is part of their discussion as is how to be a literary Instagram influencer, how far the publishing industry is diversifying, and how listening to Beyonc茅 can ease the stresses of a book tour.
