He's slowly becoming one of the most significant authors of the modern age.
Marlon is so brillant and engaging. I have so much respect for him! As a Caribbean person, I'm so glad to see Caribbean authors on here. I can't wait to read this novel! Great interview! 🇹🇹🇯🇲
Such a lovely man. His novels are great and always has time for his readers. So interesting when he is speaking could listen to him all day. Yes I'm a big fan.
'The Book of Night Women' is a MUST read and one of my favourites, love MJ!😊📚🥳
Okay him describing this book has totally sold me!
At some point I will read Marlon James.
His damsels are not in distress (mostly), but most of them are evil, though. Food for thought.
Have you read his book "The Book of Night Women"?
@@jeanferdinand4347 that's a great response, kudos
Keep in mind that his plan is for a trilogy with each book telling the same story from a different perspective. So, it's entirely possible that the portrayal of the characters will be drastically different in the subsequent books.
Really enjoying the book.
Quite challenging but well worth it.
