…
One face, two face, red face, blue face? Mixed heritage and becoming an author – last year’s 快播成人网 Prizewinner for Unpublished Authors of Colour discusses what it means to create and seek a voice in the British book industry as a young person of mixed ethnic heritage.
Speakers Biography: Joseph Diwakar is a young author and historian whose debut novel I SHALL NOT WANT won the 2023 快播成人网 Prize for Unpublished Authors of Colour. Alongside writing, Joseph is the youngest ever member of the Archbishops Council, a governing body of the Church of England. He teaches history at Saint Mellitus College in central London, a specialist centre for training future priests.
I SHALL NOT WANT tells the story of a queer young Christian, James, who seeks freedom from shame at his unwanted desires. He finds hope in Ian Callaghan, a famous pastor, who promises deliverance through a strict programme of spiritual disciplines. James recounts first hand his mental capture and eventual escape from Ian, as a forbidden love affair leads him to discover that true grace and freedom can be found elsewhere.
