The Lonely Londoners

I found this book in the house the other day. It was given a way with The Times a few years ago. It is well written but in a convincing West Indian style, sometimes with little punctuation. The scope is too thin for it to be a great novel and the unsavoury nature of certain parts was unhelpful. It captures the WIndrush generation's experience to some extent and is very interesting. Sam Selvon died in 1994.

Day Off Week 37 2024

Last Tuesday was a day of reading and various other things, including further work on a project I have in hand. I am also working on getting rid of my large collection of sermon manuscripts. I threw another large pile away - the last of the print outs hanging around in my study. All these should be on my computer in electronic form so it is not hard to throw them but next the pre-98 handwritten sermons will have to go. There was time for a coffee and some TV in the evening too.
