Friday 16th December is the writer Edgar Mittelholzer’s birthday. He was born in New Amsterdam in 1909 and died in 1965. He began to write at the age of about 20 and self-published his first book in 1937. He moved to Trinidad in 1941 and the UK in 1948. From 1951 to 1965 he published 21 novels, an autobiography and a travelogue.
This is the third in an occasional series of readings and recitals in which we introduce you to Guyanese writing and poetry that you may not know or reacquaint you with favourite authors and poets.
Extracts from his early skits, Creole Chips, his bestseller A Morning in the Office and the haunting My Bones and My Flute are included.
