raethereviewer 's review for:

The Lonely Londoners by Sam Selvon

4.0

I read this for my thesis. My focus is Caribbean literature and one of my committee members suggested this book. I ended up enjoying this a lot, especially with how satirical it was. The commentary still feels so relevant today, nearly 70 years later. There were some problematic elements, which is to be expected with a book this old, but I don’t think they took away much from the story.
