We were joined on the 21st of March by critically acclaimed writer and social commentator Nii Ayikwei Parkes in conversation with German writer Jackie Thomae and translator Ruth Ahmedzai Kemp.
The three explored Thomae's book Brothers, a richly layered novel that follows the journey of two brothers as they navigate their adulthood, reluctant to centralise the colour of their skin as a way of defining how they see themselves and the decisions they make.
Brothers poses important questions about family and masculinity. Asking whether we have the power to shape our destiny? Or does our background and character inevitably shape us?
