EVERY EARL LOVELACE...

Readers, writers and performers for Bim Litfest 2014 on books that grab them, favourite authors, and showing words love...

“I’ve enjoyed every Earl Lovelace book I’ve read. His characters are vibrant and illustrate his keen understanding of human nature. He writes a tragedy with comedic overtones, driving home the ironies of life.

“I’ve always loved a story. As a child, I read just about anything that came my way. When I think of a thoroughly enjoyable book, Herman Wouk’s Don’t Stop the Carnival tops my list.”

• June Stoute is the author of eight children’s picture books under her Wordways Caribbean series and is a former storyteller for Bim LitFest.
