Скачать или смотреть We Need New Names - NoViolet Bulawayo reading - 'Are you from Africa too?' Man Booker Prize 2013

NoViolet Bulawayo reads from her 2013 Booker Prize shortlisted debut novel We Need New Names. The reading opens as an American woman asks Darling where she's from, as she's drying her hands in an American washroom.

---

Darling and her friends live in a shanty called Paradise, which of course is no such thing. It isn't all bad, though. There's mischief and adventure, games of Find bin Laden, stealing guavas, singing Lady Gaga at the tops of their voices.

They dream of the paradises of America, Dubai, Europe, where Madonna and Barack Obama and David Beckham live. For Darling, that dream will come true. But, like the thousands of people all over the world trying to forge new lives far from home, Darling finds this new paradise brings its own set of challenges -- for her and also for those she's left behind.
