Booker Prize finalist Caryl Phillips joins Radhika Jones, former editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, for a conversation about his recent novel, Another Man in the Street.
At the height of the Swinging Sixties, a young immigrant arrives in London from the Caribbean with dreams of becoming a journalist in the “mother country.” Spanning nearly half a century, set against the backdrop of a nation that is slowly and reluctantly evolving into a modern multiracial society, what follows is a tragic love story that only Phillips could tell — epic in its sweep and devastatingly intimate in its portrayal of damaged lives caught between two worlds.
In a conversation with Radhika Jones, hear Phillips discuss the inspiration for this luminous new novel — the traumas that overtake personal relationships in the wake of societal transformation, the high price of attempting to reinvent oneself, and much more.
“A remarkable achievement … Phillips achieves what eludes the beautiful and tragically human characters of his latest novel — the very opposite of erasure: survival, resilience, existence.” — The Washington Post
