Road Trip by Marvin Thompson – the start of a long and beautiful journey

Marvin Thompson’s debut collection, Road Trip, is as perfectly titled as it has been structured. Throughout, the reader is set on a path of ambitious exploration – we experience the voices of Gerald Oswald Archibald Thompson, a young woman called Rochelle, Thompson’s children, a guilty man and Thompson himself. To craft such a dynamic range of perspectives within one collection is no easy task; Thompson takes on the challenge adroitly.
