The novel opens up profound questions about identity, class, and the legacies that echo across generations – including perhaps the most challenging question of all: what even constitutes race?

The Vanishing half is an amazing book about the consequences and opportunities that follow if you decide to abandon an integral part of your identity - race. And it follows four complex women as a sort of group Bildungsroman about identity, escape and mother daughter relationships. So listen to Omonye and I discuss all three in a lovely discussion about this book and how we perceive these themes to link to our lives as...

NPR's Book of the DayDanielle Evans and Brit Bennett on the lies we tell ourselvesToday, two takes on stories we tell to make ourselves feel better and the consequences of believing them. First, author Danielle Evans' short story collection, The Office of Historical Corrections. The title story is about a fictional agency that fact checks in real time but, as she told former NPR host Noel King, it's less powerful than you might think. Then, the story of a Black woman's decision to pass as white and the decades-long fallout of that choice, in The Vanishing Half. Author Brit Bennett told NPR's Mary Louise Kelly that the point of the story isn't to moralize.

Το βιβλίο της ΔευτέραςΤο αόρατο μισό, Brit Bennett, Εκδόσεις ΠαπαδόπουλοςΟι δίδυμες αδελφές Βίνις μεγαλώνουν σε μια μικρή, συντηρητική κωμόπολη ανοιχτόχρωμων μαύρων στον αμερικανικό Νότο. Οι επιλογές τους λιγοστές, το μέλλον τους προδιαγεγραμμένο: οφείλουν να παντρευτούν έναν εξίσου ανοιχτόχρωμο μαύρο και να ζήσουν αξιοπρεπώς μες στη φτώχεια. Όμως, οι αδελφές αρνούνται να υποταχτούν σε αυτή τη μοίρα. Αντί να συμμορφωθούν με τις επιταγές της κοινότητάς τους, το σκάνε στα δεκαέξι τους στη Νέα Ορλεάνη – κι εκεί οι πορείες τους αποκλίνουν. Η μία αδελφή ερωτεύεται έναν βίαιο σκουρόχρωμο άντρα, γεννά ένα σκουρόχρωμο κορίτσι και επιστρέφει στη γενέτειρά της, ταπεινωμένη για την επιλογή της και εγκλωβισμένη. Η άλλη υποδύεται τη λευκή και παντρεύεται έναν γοητευτικό γόνο καλής οικογένειας, αποκρύβοντας το παρελθόν και την ταυτότητά της. Κι όμως, οι τύχες των διδύμων παραμένουν συνδεδεμένες, παρόλο που τις χωρίζουν τόσα χιλιόμετρα και τόσα ψέματα. Τις βεβαιότητές τους θα τις ανατρέψει η επόμενη γενιά, οι κόρες τους, και τότε θα αναγκαστούν για μια ακόμη φορά να επιλέξουν: ποια ζωή στ’ αλήθεια θέλουν, ποια ζωή μπορούν ν’ αντέξουν;
Παρακολουθώντας πολλαπλά σκέλη και γενιές αυτής της οικογένειας, από τη Λουιζιάνα ως την Καλιφόρνια, από τη δεκαετία του 1950 ως τη δεκαετία του 1990, η Brit Bennett υφαίνει μια αφήγηση που αποτελεί ταυτόχρονα μια συναρπαστική, συγκινητική οικογενειακή ιστορία, αλλά και μια διεισδυτική εξερεύνηση της φυλετικής διαμάχης στην Αμερική. Το Αόρατο μισό εξετάζει και εξερευνά τους πολλαπλούς και σύνθετους λόγους που ωθούν κάποιον να ζήσει ως άλλος, και όχι με βάση όσα ορίζει η καταγωγή του.
