As a schoolboy in Georgetown my dad once played truant with a friend to go to the Tower Hotel, where they had heard the great author Edgar Mittelholzer was staying. I believe he did get to meet the man who spoke to them both for a while. Years later in London I ordered copies of some of Mittelholzer's most famous works - such as Corentyne Thunder and A Morning At The Office - for him to reminisce on, but ended enjoying them thoroughly myself too. So it's wonderful to receive a copy of Creole Chips, a collection of poetry, short stories, drama and essays by the man himself painstakingly compiled and edited by Juanita Cox. The book was launched in Georgetown last night at the University of Guyana. Congrats Juanita! 📚👏 #creolechips @peepaltreepress #edgarmittelholzer #guyanawriting #guyana #caribbeanliterature
