This is wonderful. Thank you! I'm happy for Milkman, but was dearly hoping to see Washington Black win the Booker. Great to hear Edugyan discuss the formation of the story and the dynamic way she approached the issue of freedom. I connected with the character of Wash so strongly and the scene where he goes diving is surpassingly beautiful.

I know what you mean about that connection to Wash, Eric. In a bit I had to snip from the edit I mentioned that Esi has a way of investing the reader in her characters, a similar thing happened in Half Blood Blues, and it means that you care deeply about what happens to them. Not as easy as it sounds!

Was he finally free in the last?, Can we not say that north was emancipating him and bringing him in a new life enslaving him mentally

Congratulations on your win, and your recognition by the establishment. My question is, what gives you the right to profit off of another peoples' history?

With that attitude, you’ve put an end to historical fiction.
