Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott on his life and work

[Zubyre]

It was great to meet Mr Walcott. His earlier works were fab. He is hung up on his colour, he tends to take being black as being literally 'black'. He got confused by the word. Black people are not black they are brown or dark brown. He connotes white with goodness, fair enough, but you don't have to be a person born English to be good, or be a brown skinned man to be bad!

Secondly, after Tiepolo's hound? He became a dog. That book in itself is about psychological inferiority to whites.
