Duppy Conqueror by Ferdinand Dennis
A history of the twentieth century seen through Afro-Caribbean spectacles in which the personal and political seamlessly collide. An important novel of the Windrush generation.
'Duppy Conqueror brims with humour and low comedyIt is a pleasing change from the wilfully ponderous treatment of historical memory in much contemporary post-colonial fiction' (TLS); 'This novel may well prove a landmark in British fiction in capturing a breadth of diasporic experience and a moment in empire' (GUARDIAN); 'This is a novel packed to the brim with layers of symbolism, individual and cultural memories, and fascinating historical stories. Reading it once just won't be enough' (THE INDEPENDENT)
