Raphaëlle Red with Bernardine Evaristo

Raphaëlle Red discusses the English-language publication of Adikou with Bernardine Evaristo.

Red’s debut novel follows Adikou from Paris to Lomé and across the West African coast and the United States as she investigates family history, mixed-race identity and belonging. The page names Evaristo as the conversation partner; it also introduces translator Sophie Marie Niang in an author/translator note, without listing her as an event participant.
