Bloomsbury presents Another Man in the Street by Caryl Phillips, read by Danny Sapani.
The powerful and evocative story of a young West Indian man's search for home in 1960s London - by the multi-award-winning author dubbed 'one of the literary giants of our time' (New York Times)
**A Guardian book to look forward to in 2025**
'A masterful stylist writing at the top of his powers' Anthony Joseph
'An engrossing, artfully constructed chronicle of lives tragically unfulfilled' Mail on Sunday
'A remarkable achievement' Washington Post
'A moving, accomplished study of the vulnerabilities carried and concealed by human beings on their journeys throughout the world' Financial Times
____________________________________________
In the early Sixties, Victor 'Lucky' Johnson arrives in London from St Kitts, with dreams of becoming a journalist. Lucky soon finds work, first at an Irish pub in Notting Hill – then as a rent collector for unscrupulous slum landlord Peter Feldman.
Shadowing Victor in London from his early struggles to the present day, Caryl Phillips paints a striking portrait of a flawed but vividly alive man grappling with the lifelong disillusionments of exile – and the uniquely complicated identity of the Windrush generation.
