Abstract

Interventions in Caribbean Writing

Highlights

My connection with Caribbean literature followed a pattern begun in my early teens
As a precocious schoolboy I’d explored the exciting and demotic writing of the USA (Mailer, Chandler Brossard, Baldwin, Kerouac et al – bought from a semi-pornographic little bookstore in one of the seedier parts of Manchester, where I went to school)
The relationship that was most important in the route towards deeper involvement with Caribbean writing was with the Kenyan novelist Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o

As a precocious schoolboy I’d explored the exciting and demotic writing of the USA (Mailer, Chandler Brossard, Baldwin, Kerouac et al – bought from a semi-pornographic little bookstore in one of the seedier parts of Manchester, where I went to school).
