Samuel Selvon is by far my favourite. I started with The Lonely Londoners. It was the first book I've read that was written in Caribbean English.

Other are Michael Anthony and Errol John.

Anyone remembers Moon on a Rainbow Shawl?

Some I've read are:

Merle Collins
Michael Anthony (Loved his Greens days by the River and others from that series)
V S Naipaul (disappointed with his views of his homeland)
Derek Walcott
Jamaica Kincaid

.....

Andrea Levy...she has a new release called "Fruit of The Lemon" that's out now. There's a review of the book in today's Washington Post, and it's mentioned in the March issue of Essence.

She's an excellent author. I read two of her other titles, When Rocks Dance & Bruised Hibiscus. Couldn't put them down.
