Leilani Raven
Μετάφραση: Νίνα ΜπούρηΕκδόσεις Πατάκη
Μπορεί ένας άνθρωπος και στην προκειμένη περίπτωση, η Ιντι, μια γυναίκα 23 ετών, να καλύψει το κενό ανάμεσα σε ένα ζευγάρι;Η Ιντι είναι μια εικοσιτριαχρονη Αφροαμερικανιδα, που διψάει για ζωή, αποδοχή μέσα από τη δουλειά και ψάχνοντας,ίσως, με τις ερωτικές σχέσεις που αναπτύσσει, κυρίως με μεγαλύτερους άντρες, τον έρωτα.Μετά την ανταλλαγή μηνυμάτων με τον πολύ μεγαλύτερο της Έρικ, συναντιουνται και όλα είναι απλά περίεργα και απρόσμενα. Οι δύο τους συνεβρισκονται στα πλαίσια του " ανοιχτού " γάμου του Έρικ με την Ρεμπεκα. Ένα ζεύγος λευκών.Τα πράγματα γίνονται ακόμα πιο περίεργα όταν η Ιντι απολύεται και καταλήγει να μένει σπίτι τους με πρωτοβουλία της συζύγου. Εκεί η Ιντι γνωρίζει και την υιοθετημένα κόρη τους Ακιλα, που ήταν και εκείνη αφροαμερικανιδα.Μια περίεργη συμβίωση. Όλοι οι κοινωνικοί όροι καταλυονται, πάντα όμως μέσα από το πρίσμα της διάκρισης λόγω φυλής, ηλικίας και οικονομικής κατάστασης.Η γραφή της Ρέιβεν Λεϊλάνι είναι γρήγορη, μπλέκει το παρόν με το μέλλον, την τέχνη με την αποτύπωση της πραγματικότητας στον καμβά.Ένα βιβλίο της εποχής μας, μάλλον των νέων της εποχής μας που αναμειγνύονται με τις γενιές τους παρελθόντος προσπαθώντας να καλύψει η μια την άλλη, μέσω μιας κοινής αναζήτησης που δεν είναι άλλη από την ιδια τη ζωή

DAVIDDavid DavisIn grad school, my advisor was a mediocre homophobe who was occasionally good for solid writing advice. This was a decade ago. At 24, I was still an unthinking grinder, pestle to my own empty mortar, so it verged on the revelatory to hear a real writer—with books and a teaching job and everything—insist that sometimes the best thing you can do for your manuscript is sit at a sunny window and daydream. Her enduring mid-ness aside, I’ve come to think my advisor was onto something. Over the years, I’ve discovered that the window is not j...

Das Perfekte Buch für den Moment - Deutschlandfunk NovaDas perfekte Buch - Hitze von Raven Leilani"Hitze" heißt das Romandebüt von Raven Leilani, das angeblich zu den Lieblingsbüchern von Barak Obama zählt. Darin nimmt uns die junge, schwarze Edie mit in ihr Leben in Brooklyn - und zeigt uns, wie sie sich nach ihrem abgebrochenen Kunststudium über Wasser hält und auf immer neue Affären mit Männern einlässt.
Bis sie eines Tages den wesentlich älteren Eric trifft. Eric ist verheiratet. Er hat eine schwarze Adoptivtochter: Akila. Und als Edie Akila zum ersten Mal sieht, zieht es ihr fast den Boden unter den Füßen weg.

Reading for AttentionLuster by Raven Leilani with Love and LustIn this week's eppy, we're talking about Raven Leiliani's millenial debut, Luster. We follow Edie (who knew?), a black woman in her early twenties who gets involved in a love triangle with a fortysomething white man in an open-ish marriage. Bizarre. We wash the story down with a Love and Lust cocktail, and Paul substitutes the watermelon for pomegranate juice in solidarity with Sarah and her attention-seeking allergies. Sarah of course deviates from the recipe as usual, leaving Paul with a hole in his pocket (to the tune of FOUR POUNDS AND TWENTY PENCE). But it's ok because the...

Just Warm SpacesEpisode 9: Little ObsessionsEvery day we wake up and do our silly little tasks while daydreaming about our silly little obsessions.

LET IT OUTfood, sex, & creativity with Stephanie Danler 🥬In this conversation I got to speak with one of my favorite writers, Stephanie Danler. She is the author of the international bestseller, Sweetbitter, and the creator and executive producer of the Sweetbitter series on Starz. Her work has appeared in the Sewanee Review, Vogue, The New York Times Book Review, and The Paris Review Daily. I loved her latest book, Stray, a memoir that came out recently. In this episode we discuss many of the themes of the book including inheriting trauma, boundaries, relationships, motherhood and more. We also talk about writing, her process, creativity, and food.
