How To Fail With Elizabeth Day is a podcast series that celebrates the things that haven’t gone right. Every week, a new interviewee explores what their failures taught them about how to succeed better. In this episode she talks to Bernardine Evaristo the first black woman to win the Booker Prize, with her stunning novel, Girl Woman Other. She talks about her failure to be an actor, her failure to drive from London to Australia and…brilliantly…her failure to be a lesbian.
