Trinidad and Jamaica: Longman Caribbean, 1973. Book. Good. Soft cover. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Minor lean to the yellowed spine, light shelf wear to the corners and spine ends. Text is clean. '[This book] is about exile and the disintegration of personality. What is it like for the West Indian to experience self-imposed exile in England? With all the force of poetic imagination [the author] offers a highly individual answer. The group of artists whom he describes inhabit a tense and self-enclosed world. Their relations with each other, as well as with those outside the group, are taut, often violent. The past, with its colonial implications, is ever-present. This racial memory provides the main drama with an extraordinary sub-plot or backcloth: a savage reworking of themes from The Tempest, which goes far beyond the plane of realism into the realm of myth.' 250 pages..
