Since the publication of her memoir, COCKROACHES, in 2006, Scholastique Mukasonga has been a perennial favourite for the Nobel Prize in Literature, as well as one of the great humanitarians of our time.
In 2021, the French-Rwandan storyteller wrote the foreword to Can Xue’s PURPLE PERILLA and, afterwards, set upon making her own isolarii, aptly titled A BOOK OF MY OWN. Writing these past two years, from her home in Normandy, watching migrants set off in boats for the UK, she tells the story of her self—her name, her own exile, her memories of childhood in Rwanda. It is as urgent as it is dramatically beautiful—and, perhaps, her most conceptual work to date.
