A Literary Friendship
Combining penetrating insight with frank self-awareness, A Literary Friendship — based on Rohlehr’s private notebooks and correspondence, and completed not long before his death in early 2023 — is at once memoir, literary analysis, and meditation on fame and obscurity. Publisher Jeremy Poynting introduces this important posthumous work, followed by a conversation among scholars and writers Aaron Kamugisha, Anu Lakhan, and Paula Morgan, chaired by Barbara Lalla.Combining penetrating insight with frank self-awareness, A Literary Friendship — based on Rohlehr’s private notebooks and correspondence, and completed not long before his death in early 2023 — is at once memoir, literary analysis, and meditation on fame and obscurity.
