    George Lamming

    GOERGE LAMMING (1927–2022) was a novelist, essayist, and poet. Lamming was born and raised in Barbados but worked as a teacher in Trinidad before settling in the UK. His teaching career included posts as distinguished visiting professor at Duke University and visiting professor at Brown University. Among his books are In the Castle of My Skin (1953), The Emigrants (1954), Of Age and Innocence (1958), The Pleasures of Exile (1960), and Natives of My Person (1972). Lamming’s first novel, In the Castle of My Skin, won the Somerset Maugham Award; in 1954, Lamming was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. In 2008, Lamming was honored with an Order of the Caribbean Community (OCC) to acknowledge “fifty-five years of extraordinary engagement with the responsibility of illuminating Caribbean identities, healing the wounds of erasure and fragmentation.”
