HTML:<b>A "funny, moving, endlessly inventive" novel of life in a Trinidadian town during a time of change and revolutionary fervor (<i>The Times</i>).</b><br /> In Trinidad, in the wake of 1970's Black Power Uprising, we follow Sonnyboy, Singer King Kala, and their town's folk through experiments in music, politics, religion, and love—and in their day-to-day adventures. Humorous and serious, sad and uplifting, <i>Is Just a Movie</i> is a radiant novel about small moments of magic in ordinary life.<br /> "Earl Lovelace is arguably the Caribbean's greatest living novelist. In <i>Is Just a Movie</i>, he writes at the top of his considerable literary powers, picturing the Caribbean's poor and powerless defending their ever-embattled humanity with resourcefulness and tenacity." —Randall Robinson, author of <i>The Debt: What America Owes to Blacks</i><br /> "Lovelace is bursting with things to say about this complex, heterogeneous society in the late twentieth century . . . with a flair that at its best reaches a soaring rhapsody." —<i>Guardian</i><br /> "<i>Is Just a Movie</i> is not just a movie, it's a poem, too." —Arundhati Roy, author of <i>The God of Small Things</i><br /> "Confirms Lovelace as a master storyteller of the West Indies." —<i>Financial Times</i><br /> "Starring two hapless almost-beens in search of movie fame, <i>Is Just A Movie</i> takes us on wild loving absurdist journey to the heart of a contemporary Trinidad." —Junot Díaz, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of <i>The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao</i><br /> "Vivid prose that seems to stroll effortlessly across the page." —<i>The Times Literary Supplement</i><br /> <i>Winner of the Regional Council of Guadeloupe's Grand Prize for Caribbean Literature</i>.
