The Schoolmaster

“Earl Lovelace`s second novel is modest in intent and succeeds through a kind of iron self discipline and restraint in building up a highly compact and convincing diagram of the impingements of a modern life ยฟon a remote modern village in the interior of Trinidad which wants a school and a school master ยฟ lovelace writes with a singularly truculent acuteness, both in narrative and in dialogue which captures West Indian speech rhythms so convincingly .. ยฟThe school master` is quite unlike anything a British author could produce, being its own enviable thing, absolutely” – Robert Nye, Guardian
