Bookshelf 2023: "a careful study"

Laird, a prolific Trinidadian filmmaker, offers a fascinating recreation of Ladoo’s actual trajectory, guiding readers through the development of his unique voice in Caribbean literature. [...] The ambitious Ladoo, who often said he planned 200 novels spanning several centuries of Caribbean history, is well-served by this careful study, which also publishes for the first time several of his Canadian-Trini short stories.
