Bernardine Evaristo

Festival Program
BERNARDINE EVARISTO, ANTHONY JOSEPH: British Diasporic Voices
To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the British Consulate’s establishment in Chicago, the CHF presents a reading by two British/post-colonial literary talents. Evaristo (English mother, Nigerian father) is the author of three critically-acclaimed novels-in-verse: Lara, The Emperor’s Babe, and Soul Tourists. British Afro-Caribbean poet and novelist Joseph is the author of two poetry collections, Desafinado and Teragaton, and is working on his first novel, The African Origins ofUFOs, a heady fusion of sci-fi, Caribbean and Afro myths, and jazz.

Generously supported by the British Council USA and the British Consulate General in Chicago.
