Earl Lovelace

Earl Lovelace was born on 13 July 1935 in Toco, in the north-east of Trinidad, and spent his childhood with his grandparents in Tobago. A proofreader at a newspaper, he was then a forest ranger at Valencia and an agricultural assistant at Rio Claro, in contact with village life. After studies in the United States, he taught for ten years at the University of the West Indies, without ever ceasing to live on his island, a rare thing among the writers of his generation.
