Produktbeschreibung

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 masterful stylist writing at the top of his powers' Anthony Joseph ____________________________________________ 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 an unscrupulous slum landlord Peter Feldman. Shadowing Lucky from his early struggles in London 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. Another Man in the Street is an unforgettable story of loss, displacement, belonging, and the triumph of Black resilience - epic in scope and yet profoundly intimate; and a radical and timely portrait of immigrant London. ___________________________________________________ Praise for Caryl Phillips 'One of Britain's pre-eminent writers' Guardian 'One of the literary giants of our time' New York Times 'Phillips is a linguistic and cultural virtuoso' The Times This audiobook contains instances of racist language, as well as themes or characterisations which listeners may find offensive.
