Critical Perspectives of Sam Selvon Reviews

Sam Selvon has . . . received critical acclaim through the English-speaking world, and he is indubitably one of the principal fiction writers of the Caribbean; yet, inexplicably, he has not been the subject of a single sustained explication or assessment. The present collection of essays by and about Selvon therefore fills a void and fills it most pleasingly." A. L. McLeod, World Literature Today
