Try reading pachinko !! by min Jin Lee !! It’s about the affects of Japanese colonialism and gender roles on a young girl who falls pregnant in the late 1890s and it’s a multigenerational story and it’s chefs kiss

Penguin published a book of the letters exchanged between Evelyn Waugh and Nancy Mitford. They're brilliant, you should definitely check it out!

@beatrizsimione4414 3 года назад

This isn’t a novel but I know you enjoy reading philosophy so I’m going to recommend Brazilian philosophy: The Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire. He is mainly known for his work on critical pedagogy and the deconstruction and criticism of what he calls “banking education”. He also talks a lot about the relationship between the oppressor and the oppressed, how the oppressor can never liberate the oppressed but also how, when liberating ourselves, we must not become ourselves the oppressor. There’s also a lot on the power of dialogue and speaking your own words (idk if that translates well into English sorry).

One of my favourite authors that I wish more people would read is Kader Abdolah. He is originally from Iran, but fled to the Netherlands in the late 80s when he was ~34. Later he started writing columns and books in Dutch and I really enjoy his writing style. :) His novels deal with diaspora, the immigrant experience and Iranian culture. I think his most popular book is 'the house of the mosque' which follows a family around the time of the Iranian revolution. I really like 'reis van de lege glessen' (journey of the empty bottles), but that one has been translated to several languages except for English unfortunately

@CharlesJosepDelDotto 3 года назад

Okay, after having previously started it 3 times but never finishing it, I finally re-started and actually completed Orlando last year. I really, really liked it and prefer it over perhaps more canonical Woolf, e.g., Mrs. Dalloway. Also, to prepare for the course on "The Literature of Plague" that I'm teaching in the fall, I'm planning on starting The Decameron (same translation but I got the hardcover since it's soooo long) in a couple weeks and doing a tale per day. Lastly, THANK YOU for putting Nancy Mitford on my radar. Her books seem to be hard to come by in my country (i.e., the US), and the ones available aren't the UK Penguins with those fantastic book covers, so at some point, I'm going on the British Amazon and stocking up!

@CharlesJosepDelDotto 3 года назад

BTW, if you're interested in more "African" literature, I highly recommend reading some of the plays by the South African dramatist Athol Fugard, particularly My Children! My Africa! and "Master Harold"... and the boys.

@yj6118 3 года назад

For an alternative to Amazon UK I’d check out Book Depository! They are based out of Australia but have a lot of UK covers for books, you’d be surprised how much nice they are than American ones sometimes. Oh, and if I remember correctly shipping is free.

@chuckles222 3 года назад

yeah, I remember when I read Love in a Cold Climate last year I had it in my head that it was going to be a serious drama, so I was confused to say the least.

@annanicolablanco2515 3 года назад

If you want some colonial Philippines in your book shelf, I recommend Nick Joaquin's The Woman Who Had Two Navels and Tales of the Tropical Gothic (Penguin Classics) and Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo (also Penguin Classics). I have a bunch more to recommend but these are good intro books to Philippine lit + the easiest to find outside of Asia :) Also, I love all your book videos (even if this is not a book channel, yeahp, i know)!

Have you read Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi? it's a historical fiction novel about a family that is split in two, one half stays in Ghana and the other is shipped off as slaves to the US. Really interesting and beautiful, but also horrifying.

@fghijoy6148 3 года назад

Nancy Mitford has been on my list for a while because of you. I love Things Fall Apart. Haven't gotten to the rest of the trilogy yet but I'm excited to. We read The Heart of Darkness in high school and while I think we acknowledged that it was from the point of view of white colonizers, it wasn't that big of a focus. (This was also over a decade ago and I realize the social consciousness has definitely shifted a lot since then.) But I did take a Sub-Saharan African anthropology class in undergrad and we discussed all the topics you brought up with regard to Things Fall Apart then.
