Frasi di Caryl Phillips

Caryl Phillips è uno scrittore, drammaturgo e saggista britannico.

Meglio conosciuto per i suoi romanzi, per i quali ha vinto diversi premi, Phillips è considerato uno dei principali autori della sua generazione ed è spesso descritto come uno scrittore dell’Atlantico nero, dato che molte delle sue produzioni letterarie sono influenzate dal suo interesse e dalla sua attitudine indagatoria nei confronti delle popolazioni che hanno vissuto la diaspora africana in Inghilterra, nei Caraibi e negli Stati Uniti. Oltre al ruolo di scrittore, Phillips ha ricoperto l'incarico di docente presso numerose università americane, tra cui l’Amherst College nel Massachusetts, la Columbia University e l’Università di Yale, nella quale insegna letteratura inglese dal 2005.
