Harold Sonny Ladoo

Yesterdays (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Renewed interest in Ladoo's work: Ladoo's first novel, No Pain Like This Body, has recently been rereleased by House of Anansi Press in North America and Penguin Random House in the UK. The resurgence of interest in his work is also reflected by the publication of a biography, Equal to Mystery: In Search of Harold Sonny Ladoo, by Christopher Laird.



Lost Gem of Diasporic Literature: Published in 1974, shortly after Ladoo was murdered in his native Trinidad, Yesterdays was originally intended to be the second part of a trilogy that includes Ladoo's first novel. This means that his final novel did not receive the attention it deserved, even as Yesterdays hints at a new stylistic direction for the author towards comedy.



Reconsidering the Canon: This book didn't get the attention it deserved in the 1970s. As we reconsider what books should be canonical, it's important to highlight lesser-known voices.
