S1, E20: The Literary Edit Podcast with Sylvester Onwordi

For the twentieth episode of The Literary Edit podcast, I was joined by Sylvester Onwordi, the son of the late, great Buchi Emecheta. A psychologist, medical anthropologist and publisher, you can read his list of Desert Island Books here, and the ones we discuss in the episode are:   Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino Nightwood by Djuna Barnes 2001 Space Odyssey by Arthur C Clarke In the Ditch by Buchi Emecheta Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carol Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe Fictions by Jorges Louis Borges   Other books we spoke about included Second Class Citizen by Buchi Emecheta, The Stranger by Albert Camus, Nostromo by Joseph Conrad and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.   If you’d like to buy any of the books we discussed in the episode, please consider doing so from the list I created on Bookshop.org, an online bookstore with a mission to financially support local, independent bookstores. If you’re based in Australia, please consider buying them from Gertrude & Alice, who deliver all over the country.   Facebook The Literary Edit   Instagram @the_litedit   Twitter @thelitedit
