Full Description


This examination of Caryl Phillips novels ranges from the "Final Passage" to "The Nature of Blood", and considers them in relation to Phillips's plays and essays. It starts from a textual analysis of Phillips's fiction and examines how it charts a new diasporic sensibility, grounded in the novelist's Caribbeanness but also expressive of a redefined sense of Britishness. It focuses on Phillips's pervasive interest in displacement and addresses characterisation and the unconventional form of his current narratives, two major aspects of his art which are discussed here in the context of debates on postcolonialism.
