#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2020 BY THE NEW YORK TIMES * THE WASHINGTON POST * NPR * PEOPLE * TIME MAGAZINE* VANITY FAIR * GLAMOUR 2021 WOMEN'S PRIZE FINALIST
“Bennett’s tone and style recalls James Baldwin and Jacqueline Woodson, but it’s especially reminiscent of Toni Morrison’s 1970 debut novel, The Bluest Eye.” —Kiley Reid, Wall Street Journal
“A story of absolute, universal timelessness …For any era, it's an accomplished, affecting novel. For this moment, it's piercing, subtly wending its way toward questions about who we are and who we want to be….” – Entertainment Weekly
From TheNew York Times-bestselling author of The Mothers, a stunning new novel about twin sisters, inseparable as children, who ultimately choose to live in two very different worlds, one black and one white.
The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters' storylines intersect? Weaving together multiple strands and generations of this family, from the Deep South to California, from the 1950s to the 1990s, Brit Bennett produces a story that is at once a riveting, emotional family story and a brilliant exploration of the American history of passing. Looking well beyond issues of race, The Vanishing Half considers the lasting influence of the past as it shapes a person's decisions, desires, and expectations, and explores some of the multiple reasons and realms in which people sometimes feel pulled to live as something other than their origins. As with her New York Times-bestselling debut The Mothers, Brit Bennett offers an engrossing page-turner about family and relationships that is immersive and provocative, compassionate and wise.

Inhalt: Was bedeutet es, wenn ein weißes Publikum auf einmal eifrig Filme und Bücher über schwarzes Leid konsumiert? Warum fällt es den Medien so schwer, weißen Terrorismus als eben solchen zu benennen? Warum waren Schwimmbäder schon immer Orte, an denen sich die Diskriminierung auf besondere Art manifestierte, und sind es noch heute? Wie gestalten wir die Zukunft, wenn wir umgeben sind von Menschen, die die Vergangenheit zurücksehnen? Und: Wird der Traum, durch die Zeit zu reisen, nicht immer ein weißes Privileg sein? Dieser Band versammelt acht brillante Essays, in denen sich Brit Bennett mit Fragen des Rassismus in all seinen Facetten auseinandersetzt. Schlagworte:D Biographie, Literatur und Literaturwissenschaft, DN Biografien und Sachliteratur, DNL Literarische Essays, JBS Gesellschaftliche Gruppen, Gemeinschaften und Identitäten Umfang: 112 S. ISBN: 978-3-644-01247-9
