at BC Also, I here is a link to a Caryl Phillips site on: http://www.carylphillips.com/files/indexb2.html It is a very useful site, which includes articles about Phillips' work, like "The Struggle of Postmodernism and Postcolonialism in Caryl Phillips's Crossing the River" by Gilbert Mc Innis, as well as essays by Phillips himself, like "A beacon in dark times," an essay about the ironies of the Statue of Liberty and Emma Lazarus' poem, "The New Colossus," in the context of post 9-11 America and the hastily passed Patriot Act.
Having read "Crossing the River" and the "The Mystic Masseur," it seems curious that the author of the former wrote the screenplay for the movie version of the latter. This site is from The New York State Writers' Institute http://www.albany.edu/writers-inst/phillipscaryl.html |
