Making A Book Is Such A Big

I Grew Up In A Small Place And Left It When I Was Quite Young And Entered The Bigger World.

In England I Am Not English, In India I Am Not Indian. I Am Chained To The 1,000 Square Miles That Is Trinidad; But I Will Evade That Fate Yet.

I Am The Kind Of Writer That People Think Other People Are Reading.

I Wish My Prose To Be Transparent—i Don't Want The Reader To Stumble Over Me; I Want Him To Look Through What I'm Saying To What I'm Describing. I Don't Want Him Ever To Say, Oh, Goodness, How Nicely Written This Is. That Would Be A Failure.

Home Is, I Suppose Just A Child's Idea. A House At Night, And A Lamp In The House. A Place To Feel Safe.
