Kirjailijavieras: Hope Nwosu

Kasper Salonen haastattelee kirjailija Hope Nwosua englanniksi hänen kirjastaan SoldOut.

 "SoldOut" on nykyaikainen englanninkielinen romaani, jossa kirjailija käyttää myös igbo- ja nigerian pidgin-englannin ilmaisuja. Nwosu laajentaa realistisen fiktion rajoja merkittävällä taikuudella.

Chioma, her mother, and sisters are repatriated to her grandparent’s home to pave the way for a concubine who will birth a male child for her father. At the village, she meets a man who lures her to Europe with the promise of a decent job and a better life for her family. How does Chioma metamorphose into a ruthless street girl? And how can she detangle herself from the cords that bind her soul? SoldOut tells the story of social injustice faced by women in a male-dominated African society.
