Notebook

Tuesday, 30th September 2008

Bart have light skin. That is to say, he neither here nor there, though he more here than there. When he first hit Brit'n, like a lot of other brown-skin fellars who frighten for the lash, he go round telling everybody he is a Latin-American, that he come from South America. Bart had ambition that always too big for him. He always talking about this party and that meeting that he attend in the West End or in Park Lane. He had some contacts, and he really used to go to some places, but all he could talk about when he come back was the amount of sandwich he eat, and how he drink whisky like water.
Sam Selvon,  "The Lonely Londoners".
