CONVERSATIONS WITH
My Brilliant Friend (2011) by Elena Ferrante. Translated from Italian by Ann Goldstein.

Beginning in the 1950s in a poor but vibrant neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples, Elena Ferrante's four-volume story spans almost sixty years, as its main characters, the fiery and unforgettable Lila and the bookish narrator, Elena, become women, wives, mothers, and leaders, all the while maintaining a complex and at times conflicted friendship. This first novel in the series follows Lila and Elena from their fateful meeting as ten-year-olds through their school years and adolescence, charting their intense and evolving friendship as they navigate poverty, class, education, and societal expectations.
Through the lives of these two women, Ferrante tells the story of a neighborhood, a city, and a country as it is transformed in ways that, in turn, also transform the relationship between two women.

CONVERSATIONS WITH
Half of a Yellow Sun (2006) by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

"This novel re-creates a pivotal moment in modern African history: Biafra’s struggle to establish an independent republic in Nigeria in the 1960s, and the chilling violence that followed.

At the heart of this conflict, three lives intersect. Ugwu, a boy from a poor village, works as a houseboy for a university professor. Olanna has abandoned her life of privilege in Lagos to live with her charismatic lover, the professor. And Richard, a shy Englishman, captivated by Olanna's enigmatic twin sister. As the horrific Nigerian Civil War unfolds, they are thrown together and pulled apart in ways they had never imagined.

It is a remarkable story about moral responsibility, about the end of colonialism, about ethnic allegiances, about class and race—and the ways in which love can complicate them all. Adichie brilliantly evokes the promise and the devastating disappointments that marked this time and place, bringing us one of the most powerful, dramatic, and intensely emotional pictures of modern Africa that we have ever had."

CONVERSATIONS WITH
Girl Meets Boy (2007) by Ali Smith

"‘I was a she was a he was a we were a girl and a girl and a boy and a boy, we were blades, were a knife that could cut through myth.’

Girl meets boy. It's a story as old as time. But what happens when an old story meets a brand new set of circumstances?

Ali Smith's re-mix of Ovid's most joyful metamorphosis is a story about the kind of fluidity that can't be bottled and sold.

It is about girls and boys, girls and girls, love and transformation, a story of puns and doubles, reversals and revelations.

Funny and fresh, poetic and political, Girl Meets Boy is a myth of metamorphosis for the modern world".

All Systems Red (2017) by Martha Wells

Meet Murderbot: a half-robot, half-human construct whose job is to protect a group of scientists on a distant planet… even though it would much rather ignore everyone and binge entertainment feeds all day.

This sci-fi novella is sharp, quick, funny, and unexpectedly emotional. It will make you laugh, and it might even break your heart. It’s the perfect short read for anyone looking for something smart and fun.

CONVERSATIONS WITH:
📖 The Vegetarian by Han Kang (Korea, 2007)
One day, Yeong-hye stops eating meat — a quiet rebellion that spirals into a haunting journey of resistance, transformation, and alienation. This poetic and unsettling novel explores desire, trauma, and what it means to reclaim your own body in a world that insists on controlling it.
A deeply affecting story, both delicate and brutal.

Impunity. Preparing a class on "Jazz" by Toni Morrison.
(Section III)
Conversations with Jazz, a slow-motion shared-reading workshop.

This is the new book we are reading at Conversations With: Jazz
by Toni Morrison.

**

In the winter of 1926, when everybody everywhere sees nothing but good things ahead, Joe Trace, middle-aged door-to-door salesman of Cleopatra beauty products, shoots his teenage lover to death. At the funeral, Joe’s wife, Violet, attacks the girl’s co**se. This passionate, profound story of love and obsession brings us back and forth in time, as a narrative is assembled from the emotions, hopes, fears, and deep realities of black urban life.

***
Toni Morrison (born Chloe Ardelia Wofford) was an American author, editor, and professor who won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Literature for being an author "who in novels characterized by visionary force and poetic import, gives life to an essential aspect of American reality."

Her novels are known for their epic themes, vivid dialogue, and richly detailed African American characters; among the best known are her novels The Bluest Eye, Song of Solomon, and Beloved, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1988. In 2001 she was named one of "The 30 Most Powerful Women in America" by Ladies' Home Journal.
