What they say

– Keith Jardim, Wasafiri, Issue 87 Autumn 2016
Read the review of Leaving by Plane and a conversation with Lawrence Scott in Wasafiri here.

Each story represents a different strand of identity, experience and perspective within another, and Scott skillfully considers certain impacts of existing in and originating from the Trinidadian and wider Caribbean context. His previous novel, Light Falling on Bamboo (2012), meditated on the impacts of a return “home” after years of living and existing, physically and mentally, “elsewhere.” But while the novel delved into the Trinidad of the past, this collection of stories firmly interrogates the present as to where and what “home” is, has been, and could become.
