Reviews

" . . . The dreams and frustration of rural Trinidad are at the centre of Selvon's prose, which carries the poetry and figurative energy of the words which tumble from the poor of his island. Highway in the Sun is a vibrant text of Selvon's brilliant re-creation of his people's tongue." --Chris Searle, The Morning Star
