In Trinidad, in the wake of 1970's Black Power rebellion, we follow
Sonnyboy, Singer King Kala, and their town's folk through
experiments in music, politics, religion, and love and in their
day-to-day adventures. Humorous and serious, sad and uplifting, Is
Just a Movie, is a radiant novel about small moments of magic in
ordinary life. Earl Lovelace's books include While Gods Are
Falling, winner of the BP Independence Award; the Caribbean classic
The Dragon Can't Dance; and Salt, which won the 1997 Commonwealth
Writers Prize. For Is Just a Movie, he has won the Grand Prize for
Caribbean Literature by the Regional Council of Guadeloupe and the
2012 OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature.
