Sat, Nov 15 at 1pm
Caryl Phillips is a Kittitian-British author of 12 notable novels and called by The New York Times, “one of the literary giants of our time.” He currently lives in America, and taught creative writing at Yale. A multiple literary award-winner, his new book, Another Man in the Street, is set in an immigrant community of London during the 1960s and beyond. The powerful and haunting story of a West Indian’s search for home and identity pits his dreams against reality.
In conversation with journalist and cultural critic Bilal Qureshi, he discusses his interest in the emotional baggage immigrants bring when they arrive in a new destination and are never able to relinquish.
