Bloomsbury presents Another Man in the Street by Caryl Phillips, read by Danny Sapani.

The powerful and evocative story of a young West Indian man's search for home in 1960s London - by the multi-award-winning author dubbed 'one of the literary giants of our time' (New York Times)

**A Guardian book to look forward to in 2025**

‘A masterful stylist writing at the top of his powers’ Anthony Joseph
‘An engrossing, artfully constructed chronicle of lives tragically unfulfilled’ Mail on Sunday
‘A remarkable achievement’ Washington Post
‘A moving, accomplished study of the vulnerabilities carried and concealed by human beings on their journeys throughout the world’ Financial Times
____________________________________________

In the early Sixties, Victor ‘Lucky’ Johnson arrives in London from St Kitts, with dreams of becoming a journalist. Lucky soon finds work, first at an Irish pub in Notting Hill – then as a rent collector for unscrupulous slum landlord Peter Feldman.

Shadowing Victor in London from his early struggles to the present day, Caryl Phillips paints a striking portrait of a flawed but vividly alive man grappling with the lifelong disillusionments of exile – and the uniquely complicated identity of the Windrush generation.

Reseñas de la crítica

This elegiac novel tracks a West Indian man’s life in London over decades, exploring the emotional cost of leaving home and being met by hatred and rejection… refreshing… a fable-like, enigmatic tale
A novel that delicately portrays the journey of a migrant caught between dreams of success and the harsh realities of life in post-war England
A moving, accomplished study of the vulnerabilities carried and concealed by human beings on their journeys throughout the world
Deftly slender storytelling
Phillips’s first novel in seven years explores the complicated legacy of Windrush through the portrait of one West Indian man in London, from the 60s to the present day

Nobody has caught the sorrows of the immigrant condition, the loneliness and the constant humiliations, with more consistency and range than Caryl Phillips. He’s rewritten the history we too long took for granted and he’s given us complex human beings, both men and women, whom otherwise we too often walk past without noticing. Another Man in the Street feels like a culmination of a life-long project, taking us through six decades of modern English history with a rending and searing compassion that offers no easy answers. This is an urgent and sobering call for post-war Britain to reckon honestly with itself (PICO IYER)
Phillips is a writer with an intimate understanding of the Caribbean diaspora and the emotional tides which underpin it. A masterful stylist writing at the top of his powers, with nuance, precision and a deep humanity (ANTHONY JOSEPH)
Here, finally, is migration's untold truth: not the hope of departure, and triumph of ambition, but the truer tale of thwarted expectations: the long echo that follows an irrevocable choice. In this finely wrought novel Phillips captures the ways in which our dreams of elsewhere can become another kind of exile, when we become caught between what was and what will never be. Another Man in the Street lays bare the desolate beauty and melancholy of those quietly breaking hearts (AMINATTA FORNA)
Another Man in the Street is a sharply observed examination of the hopes and disappointments of the displaced and marginalised, both black and white. Using multiple narrative perspectives, it presents a compelling portrait of Britain from the view point of those whose voices are seldom heard (JACQUELINE ROY)
