Self Portrait in Green

Anyone approaching Marie Ndiaye’s Self Portrait in Green (translated by Jordan Stump in 2014 and now released in the UK by Influx Press) expecting straight-forward autobiography will be, at the very least, disconcerted – a not uncommon occurrence when it comes to her writing in general.

Their colorblindness would be shown to have an advantage rather than a disadvantage only. Experiment with light color filters to mimic the main types of colorblindness, which are: proto (red)Duetero (green)Tri - something (blue - very rare) SEE Colorblindness
