"He had been brought up as a Trinidadian . . . In a small island that no one knew anything about." <br> In the post-War Caribbean colony, as an earlier generation thinks of returning to India, Foster, a young man, goes to England and Rufis his brother leaves for the United States, each in search of himself and his world. <br> Combining his characteristic humour with a vivid sense of place, Selvon's <i>An Island is a World </i>tells a moving story of personal and intellectual quest in our time. <p> With an introduction by Kenneth Ramchand. <p>
