Earl Lovelace in
conversation.
also featuring a performance by
Neil Latchman
As part of Earl Lovelace’s
festival residency, we
take the opportunity to
look at his best-known
novel The Dragon Can’t
Dance (1979), a book
that has become a
classic text and is an
uproarious and enduring
exultation to Trinidad’s
Carnival traditions. The
writing offers an insight
into Trinidad and Tobago
through its characters, in
particular the calypsonians
(and their families) who
challenged British rule in
the wake of the second
world war, and chose to
fashion their own voices
and cultures.
