Dua Lipa interviews Malorie Blackman, author of her Monthly Read for July, Noughts & Crosses, for the Service95 Book Club. The first book in Blackman’s young adult fiction series, Noughts & Crosses depicts a parallel world in which white people – ‘noughts’ – live as second-class citizens in a society run by Black people – ‘Crosses’. Dua and Malorie discuss why it wasn’t a book Blackman wanted to write but needed to write, why Malorie takes issue with the book being described as ‘dystopian’, and how it’s as painfully relevant today as when it was released over 20 years ago.
