Product details

A novel like a favorite song. Moses, Big City, Five Minutes to Twelve, and the others place great hopes in their new life in the "Center of the World," as they call post-war London. They have come here from the Caribbean, and now they marvel at the steam clouds before their mouths. And when their weekly wages are once again insufficient, they chase the pigeons on the roof. Surrender? Never! Instead, the survivors begin to reinvent themselves – and their new home along with it. Samuel Selvon's tone, a blend of Creole street slang and balladic eloquence, immediately resonates. Unconditionally sincere, Selvon tells the story of the first immigrants to England who forever changed the country – its thinking, its language, its self-understanding. With a foreword by Sigrid Löffler. A literary discovery!.
