Ayobami Adebayo talks to James Naughtie and readers about her novel, Stay With Me, a moving story of loss and motherhood. Set against the backdrop of tumultuous political events in Nigeria, it tells the story of Yejide and Akin, whose marriage is childless. The novel, which is narrated by them both, explores the pressure to have a child, the toll it takes on their relationship and the profound emotional burden of desperately wanting to become a parent. Ayobami answers readers questions about the inspiration behind Stay With Me and how she inhabited the minds of her characters.

Ayòbámi Adébáyòs Roman wird in der zweiten Hälfte zur spannenden Geschichte mit fatalen Wendungen und mutigen Entscheidungen.
"Das Glück hat seine Zeit" zähle ich zum Besten, was ich je gelesen habe! In ihrem zweiten Roman erzählt Ayòbámi Adébáyò von zwei Familien, deren Schicksal so unaufhaltsam wie unvorhersehbar aufeinander zurast. Im Mittelpunkt auf der einen Seite der 15-jährige Eniola, auf der anderen Dr. Wura, eine junge Ärztin, frisch verlobt. Dazu gibt es unvergessliche Nebenfiguren und eine (gesellschaftspolitische) Geschichte, die unterhaltsam ist, in Momenten sogar auflachen lässt, nur um mich dann in ein Kapitel zu werfen, das wütend macht oder mir das Herz zerreißt. Wuchtig wie eine griechische Tragödie. „Das Glück hat seine Zeit“ von Ayòbámi Adébáyò ist bei Piper erschienen. Simone Jakob hat die 494 Seiten aus dem Englischen übersetzt. Das Hardcover kostet 26 Euro. Hier geht's zur Leseprobe: https://www.piper.de/buecher/das-glueck-hat-seine-zeit-isbn-978-3-492-07146-8 Auch ihr Debüt "Bleib bei mir" kann ich sehr empfehlen. Es ist ebenfalls bei Piper erschienen und liegt inzwischen als Taschenbuch vor für 14 €. Ich freue mich, wenn ihr die Folge und den Podcast weiterempfehlt.

Malcolm Harris joins Eric Newman and Medaya Ocher to discuss Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the World. A native of Northern California, Malcolm attended Palo Alto High School and that High School experience is a jumping off point of sorts — and a dark one — for the book that Malcolm joins us to discuss. Malcolm's hefty tome, a history of California told through a Marxist lens, opens with a grim reflection on the spate of suicides that darkened his high school years. Teens who took their lives on the train tracks over which Leland Stanford built Palo Alto and much of the booming Western economy that has made the Bay Area and California in general such a dominant pole of global wealth, innovation, and the allure of good, easy living. It's that darker side to this history that Malcolm brings into focus throughout PALO ALTO, a history of Silicon Valley that traces the region's celebrated ideologies, technologies, and policies to its roots in Anglo settler colonialism, racial capitalism, and the ravages of an extractive system that builds glittering new worlds and opportunities for a few, too often at the expense of everyone else up to and including the earth itself. Malcolm explores how the histories of big tech, the military industrial complex, and Stanford University converge in the story of Palo Alto, braided together in a way that at once builds the world we have today at the cost of a potentially better one. Also, Emmanuel Iduma, author of I Am Still With You, returns to recommend three books: The Return by Hisham Matar, Afterlives by Abdulrazak Gurnah, and A Spell of Good Things by Ayobami Adebayo.

In this podcast, we examine Ayobami Adebayo's 'A Spell of Good Things', a profound tale set against the backdrop of economic disparities in Nigeria, and discuss the inherent theme of interconnectedness within social classes. The episode also delves into a review of Russian prison literature, highlighting the key elements that pervade these dark narratives. Insights are drawn from the socio-political climate both themes are embedded within.
We are highlighting the brilliant talents that come from Africa and on this episode of Writing Black we are amplifying the talented and critically acclaimed Nigerian author Ayobami Adebayo. Adebayo's new novel "A Spell of Good Things" brings to life the culture and communities of Nigeria following two families through the struggles of class, wealth and political struggles. Adebayo also talks to Maiysha about her taking a different route than what was expected of her, how Nigerian mothers are much more than what you see and how they are both excited to see Black Americans and Black people in Africa interacting with one another a lot more than before.

Macierzyństwo świadome, zaplanowane i samodzielne to fenomen nowoczesności - owoc postępu społecznego i naukowego. Kobiety wyemancypowały się z macierzyństwa rozumianego w kategoriach biologicznej konieczności i zyskiwały nowe role w życiu publicznym. W ten sposób zmieniała się rola matki. Macierzyństwo postrzegane jest często jako hamulec kobiecego aktywizmu. Czy słusznie? A może to właśnie macierzyństwo dało kobietom sposobność i siłę by walczyć o swoje prawa? Kobiety, przekuwając instynkt macierzyński na działania społeczne i polityczne, walczyły o lepszy świat. Walczą do dziś. Ale czy nowoczesność dała matkom wolność, o której marzyły? Świadome macierzyństwo pociągnęło za sobą długą listę nowych obowiązków i oczekiwań, którym kobiety muszą sprostać. Czy nowoczesność zastawiła na matki kolejne sidła? Czy dyktat matki idealnej kreśli granice wolności współczesnego macierzyństwa? Nakładanie upiększających filtrów na rzeczywistość to znak czasów, w których żyjemy, w których protezą prawdziwych relacji międzyludzkich stały się media społecznościowe. Współczesne filtry nie tylko wygładzają zmarszczki, wybielają zęby, wyszczuplają sylwetkę na zdjęciach z Instagrama, ale także usuwają z krajobrazu codzienności takie stany jak: zmęczenie, frustracja, niemoc, lęk. Czy dziś trudniej być matką niż kiedyś? W odcinku występują: Basia Staniszewska – samotna matka z wyboru, zdecydowała się na zajście w ciążę metodą in vitro ze swoim przyjacielem. Dr Magdalena Rosochocka-Gmitrzak - socjolożka z Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego. Dr Monika Łukasiewicz – ginekolożka, która pracuje z in vitro. Natalia Hatalska – założycielka Infuture Institute, autorka książki „Wiek paradoksów. Czy technologia nas ocali”. Anya Jabour – profesor historii na Uniwersytecie w Montanie. Ayobami Adebayo – nigeryjska pisarka, autorka książki pt. „Zostań ze mną”. Sarah Knott – autorka książek o macierzyństwie, historyczka na Uniwersytecie Bloomington w Indianie. Koigi wa Wamwere - kenijski polityk, obrońca praw człowieka i pisarz. Kaja Szulczewska – freelancerka, działaczka społeczna.

A Noval by Ayobami Adebayo that tells a story of a couple Yejide and Akin, who has been married since they met and fell in love at university. Though many expected Akin to take several wives, he and Yejide have always agreed: polygamy is not for them. But four years into their marriage - after consulting fertility doctors and healers, trying strange teas and unlikely cures - Yejide is still not pregnant. She assumes she still has time - until her family arrives on her doorstep with a young woman they introduce as Akin's second wife. Furious, shocked, and livid with jealousy, Yejide knows the only way to save her marriage is to get pregnant. Which, finally, she does - but at a cost far greater than she could have dared to imagine. An electrifying novel of enormous emotional power, Stay With Me asks how much we can sacrifice for the sake of family. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/osborne/support

Two women who set up book festivals that have gone on to become hugely successful in their own countries and beyond tell Kim Chakanetsa about the importance of women having space to talk about their writing with an audience that understands. Namita Gokhale directs the Jaipur Literature Festival with the British author William Dalrymple. The Festival has hosted nearly 2000 speakers and welcomed over a million book lovers from across India and the globe since its inception. Bringing together authors of books in India's 22 languages, it's a magnet for writers and readers alike. Namita Gokhale explains how it's developed over the years. Lola Shoneyin is a Nigerian literary powerhouse. She founded the Ake Festival in 2013. It's now a leading cultural event and attracts writers from around the world, as well as Africa's finest literary stars like Temi Oh and Ayobami Adebayo. A former teacher and prize-winning author, Lola says that African writers need to be able to talk about their books on African soil.
