Wie schön wir waren - Imbolo Mbue
Imbolo Mbue lässt den Chor der Kinder im fiktiven afrikanischen Dorf Kosawa über die Folgen der Erdölförderung berichten. Krankheiten befallen sie, die Umwelt wird zerstört, das Leben ist nicht mehr wie es war. Über mehrere Jahrzehnte leisten sie Widerstand, während der us-amerikanische Erdölkonzern Versprechungen nicht einhält und seine Strategien anpasst. Der Konzern, die korrupte Regierung, eigentlich alle verdienen an dem Geschäft, nur die Dorfbewohner*innen nicht. Ursel Hellerich gefallen auch die literarischen Ideen des Romans:

Club Book Episode 114 Imbolo Mbue
Cameroonian-American novelist Imbolo Mbue burst onto the literary scene in 2016 with her debut novel Behold the Dreamers. Semi-autobiographical in nature, the book tracks a young Cameroonian couple as they struggle to re-establish themselves in New York City in spite of racial barriers and the economic upheavel of the Great Recession.

The Book Review
Imbolo Mbue on Writing Her Second Novel
Imbolo Mbue first began writing her new novel, “How Beautiful We Were,” in 2002. The book concerns the impact of an American oil company’s presence on a fictional African village.

On this week’s podcast, she says that returning to the novel at that moment changed the way she approached writing it.“Flint, Michigan, had happened, and Sandy Hook had happened a few years before,” she says. “So I was thinking...

Tammy Bjelland, Founder of Workplaceless

Tammy is a true pro, and had some quality insights about remote work culture, communication and major pain points related to managing and building remote teams. What I really enjoyed about our conversation, however, was how genuine Tammy is.

If you want to relive the 2008 financial crisis, this is the book for you! Behold the Dreamers is the story of the crash through the eyes of immigrants who work for bankers, but Imbolo Mbue resists making any individual character into a hero or villain. That might not always be satisfying, but it makes for a more nuanced story.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
