Beschreibung
Fish and chips. They lied. They lied. They lied. Sissie is leaving Africa for the first time, arriving in Europe on a scholarship to experience the glories of a Western education. In Germany, as guest of honour over embassy cocktails, she cringes at her countrymen. In a Bavarian castle, she is seduced by a lonely local mother to Little Adolf. In freezing London, she witnesses 'been-tos' sharing myths of an overseas idyll. In between continents, she writes a letter on the plane to her exiled former lover. But it is not sent. She will tell these tales back at home. Ama Ata Aidoo's landmark debut Our Sister Killjoy. exploded into the world in 1977. With its blistering feminist satire of the African diaspora, colonial legacies and toxic racism, expressed in a radical literary form - prose poetry, letter, manifesto - its provocative impact remains unmatched. 'A wondrous discovery. ' Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. 'A granary of wisdom & knowledge. ' Tsitsi Dangarembga. 'Aidoo has reaffirmed my faith in the power of the written word. ' Alice Walker. 'Modest, lyrical, reflective and intelligent. Deserves as wide an audience as it can get. ' Angela Carter.
