Listen to author and critic Erica Wagner in conversation with Nikki May, writer of “Wahala”, her first novel published by HarperCollins in 2022. Through Ronke, Simi and Boo, the three mixed-race heroines of her book, the writer explores interracial relationships, what defines multicultural identity and captures women’s evolving roles in home and work. They also evoke Nikki May’s early vocation as a writer and the late realisation of her literary career.

As part of the Rendez-vous littéraires rue Cambon [Literary Rendezvous at Rue Cambon], the podcast "les Rencontres" highlights the birth of a writer in a series imagined by CHANEL and House ambassador and spokesperson Charlotte Casiraghi.
