My guest today is a novelist, a playwright and an essayist.
He's currently teaching English at Yale University.
Born in St.
Kitts, he came to Britain and spent his childhood in Leeds before studying English literature at Oxford University.
He was named Sunday Times Young Writer of the year in 1992 and was on the 93 granter list of Best of Young British Writers.
Writers.
Best of Young British Writers.
His work's been listed in the book, his work's been listed for the Booker Prize, and his literary awards include the Martin Luther King Memorial Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship and a British Council Fellowship, plus many, many more.
He's a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and of the Royal Society of the Arts.
His new novel, Another man in the street, chronicles a man emigrating to England in the midst of the Windrush generation and follows his journey to London from St.
Kitts and the people he encounters in his life.
It's a no that provides perspective on the immigrant experience post war and a snapshot of Britain in time.
