This
is a reflective story about the apparently aimless hard life of poor
West Indians struggling to make a living in London in the fifties. It
picks a set of hustling characters and tells successive stories about
their encounters and experiences, at work and at poor neighborhoods and
of sex with white chicks. It features interesting characters like Five, a
loud-mouthed weed-smoker, Galagher, strangely feeling warm in winter
and cold in summer, Captain, a Nigerian student drop-out who is too lazy
for work yet stays fed all the time. Written in
regional English prose; was not divided into chapters.
