Booker Prize winning author Bernardine Evaristo on her new memoir

Bernardine Evaristo won the Booker Prize two years ago for her novel Girl, Woman, Other, but she has been writing plays, poetry, short stories and novels for over four decades. She's just published her memoir called Manifesto: On Never Giving Up. She describes her childhood in south east London - the fourth of eight children, to her English mum and Nigerian dad and the racism they regularly experienced. She also writes about the freedom she found in the theatre as a young woman, the tumultuous relationships she's had over the years, and how her life has shaped her creativity and how that creativity has been shaped by her life.
