Summary:
"Austin Clarke is a distinguished and celebrated novelist and short-story writer. His works often centre around the immigrant experience, of which he writes with humour and compassion, happiness and sorrow. In 'Membering, Clarke shares his own experiences growing up in
Barbados
and moving to Toronto to attend university in 1955 before becoming a journalist. With vivid realism he describes Harlem of the '60s, meeting and interviewing Malcolm X and writers Chinua Achebe and LeRoi Jones. Clarke went on to become a pioneering instructor of Afro-American Literature at Yale University and inspired a new generation of Afro-American writers. His other nonfiction books include Pig tails 'n breadfruit: a culinary memoir (1999), Love and sweet food: a culinary memoir (2004) and Growing up stupid under the Union Jack: a memoir (2005)"--Provided by publisher.
