Esi Edugyan with Donna Bailey Nurse at the AGO
Author Esi Edugyan is joined by literary critic Donna Bailey Nurse to discuss her Scotiabank Giller Prize winning novel, Washington Black.
In recent decades Black Women’s writing has emerged as one of the most prominent and profound literatures in the world. From Chimamanda Adichie in Nigeria to Angie Thomas in the United States to Esi Edugyan in Canada to Zadie Smith in the U.K. – its reach is diasporic. And its stories – set everywhere – unfold at the fiery intersection of race, class and gender.
