Is it ok to feel a way when a Caribbean author doesn’t use our language and our culture in their work?

Listen to Jherane, Kristina and Ashley on Like A Real Book Club talk about their complex relationship with Caribbean books and what we expect from them. This episode features a small clip from Olive Senior speaking about her writing (and why we don’t quite agree with Olive… gasp)
