Caryl Phillips is one of the most respected writers of his
generation. An award-winning author best known for his fiction,
essays and stage plays, he has also written radio plays, nine of
which were broadcast by the BBC between 1984 and 2016. Previously
locked away in Phillips's archives, housed at the Beinecke Library
at Yale University, these hidden gems are now published in Caryl
Phillips's Radio Plays, the first collection of these important
works of drama. Despite being previously overlooked, these radio
plays are fully creative works and constitute an integral part of
Caryl Phillips's literary universe. Not only do these dramatic
texts display the author's hallmark mix of formal elegance and
sharp social criticism, but they also offer compelling points of
comparison with the rest of his wider writing. From the experience
on an eighteenth-century slave ship and the life of a migrant
family in 1980s England, to an account of James Baldwin's time in
Paris and Marvin Gaye's stay in Belgium, these plays grapple with
expansive themes in creative and dramatic ways. Contextualized by a
scholarly introduction by Benedicte Ledent, this volume introduces
these works in the published form for the first time, allowing
readers a better grasp of Phillips's narrative techniques, offering
fascinating vistas into his imaginary world, which ranges from the
history of the African diaspora to the predicament of displaced
individuals the world over.
