Descriere magazin:
A brave and pioneering treatment of sexual identity in Caribbean literature, this novel, first published in 1960, follows the fortunes of Johnnie Sobert, a Jamaican exile who works in London at a club that caters to black American servicemen. In flight from his dominant, possessive mother, he immerses himself in the bohemian Soho scene and adopts a wisecracking persona as a cover for his deep-seated insecurities. Adding to Johnnie\'s confusion is the fact that when he is not at work, he navigates a completely different life in Hempstead, where he lives in a bedsitter and carries on an unsatisfying affair with his white landlady, Fiona. These two worlds provide a lively portrait of Britons reacting to the growing presence of blacks and Asians in their neighborhoods, and Johnnie takes lessons from each place. By the time he finally decides to move in with his gay friend, Dick, he is much better equipped with self-awareness--but he has yet to make a decision about where his desires truly lie. About the Author Andrew Salkey was a Jamaican author whose short stories and poetry appeared in numerous groundbreaking anthologies of Caribbean writing in the 1960s and 1970s, and from 1976 to 1995 he taught at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts. His novels include "The Adventures of Catullus Kelly, Come Home Malcolm Heartland, The Late Emancipation of Jerry Stover, and A Quality of Violence."
