Tillys Shelf | Tilly, Shawn and Ros chat about Afterlives by Abdulrazak Gurnah @tillysshelf | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
Shawn @shawnbreathesbooks and Ros @scallydandlingaboutthebook2711 invited me for a readalong of Afterlives by 2021 Nobel laureate Abdulrazak Gurnah. Shawn did a stirling job of editing down our extensive discussion. This book has rich and complex themes of colonialism, coming of age, and conflict in twentieth century East Africa.

Only of interest to those of us on the #FaulknerInAugust readalong of Light In August hosted by Brian at Bookish and Allan at Big Hard Books and Classics.
Filmed this the morning of 11.08.19 as a quick update but it failed to upload and when I realised how bad the filming is I decided to bin it. But then Ros told me that she wanted to see it anyway (shes my mum, so she has to say things like this. Its a bit like when I was 8 and drew hideous pictures and she let me put them in the keep forever box.)
I cut out all the ums and the worst of the incoherence but I cant do anything about the appallingly inconsistent camera angles and lighting apart from never film with my back to the patio doors ever again.
