| | | Bernardine Evaristo: Mr Loverman | | | | | | Described as a “riproaring, full-bodied riff on sex, secrecy and family,” by the Guardian, Mr Loverman follows Barrington Jedidiah Walker, a septuagenarian Caribbean Londoner concealing his gay identity behind a half-century marriage. A tender, exhilarating exploration of Britain's older Caribbean community, Mr Loverman asks what might happen when people fear the consequences of being true to themselves.
Evaristo will be in conversation with Okechukwu Nzelu to discuss the book, her creative process, and the stories, forbidden and forgotten, from the elders who have made England their home.
