The Schoolmaster

£6.99

"Earl Lovelace's second novel is modest in intent and succeeds through a kind of iron self discipline and restraint in building up a highly compact and convincing diagram of the impingements of a modern life ¿on a remote modern village in the interior of Trinidad which wants a school and a school master ¿ lovelace writes with a singularly truculent acuteness, both in narrative and in dialogue which captures West Indian speech rhythms so convincingly .. ¿The school master' is quite unlike anything a British author could produce, being its own enviable thing, absolutely" - Robert Nye, Guardian
