Inhaltsangabe
Social and racial inequalities abound in this 1960s Jamaican novel about a middle class lawyer who works closely with the working class and radical nationalist movement. In the midst of a riot, Mark Lattimer is targeted—and mortally wounded—by a poor islander because of his white-collar appearance. Cut off from medical attention in the middle of the insurgence, he is left to contemplate his life, including his childhood as a member of the privileged white elite, his time spent in London and as part of the RAF, his marriage and affairs, and the moment when he committed himself to the causes of the poor. As the end nears, Mark ruminates on the meaning of life and death, the politics of politics, and the significance of action in an absurd world.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Mark Lattimer is chopped by a stranger in the heat of a riot. He has been attacked because he looks white and middle class, though he is a politically committed lawyer working for the poor and the nationalist movement in Jamaica. Now he is trapped, brought to bleed his life away in a small, airless room, cut off from doctors, ambulances, police. As he dies, he talks to his companions, his black lover and a fellow party worker, and drifts into memories of his past: his privileged childhood, his time in London and the RAF, his affairs and marriage and the moment when he gives his allegiance to the poor. But now what meaning can be given to his life and death? First published fifty years ago, "Voices Under the Window" is reissued in association with the Calabash International Literary Festival Trust as a work that, in the words of Colin Channer, is a 'Molotov cocktail that ignites important questions of race and power .questions still burning in Kingston today.' In his insightful introduction, Kwame Dawes finds in "Voices", a novel that is wholly contemporary in its treatment of the personal and the political, that lives because it is a 'deftly crafted work full of a sense of place and time, a work of psychological intensity and literary elegance.'.
