We're looking at "The Lonely Londoners" (a book about some immigrants to Britain from the West Indies) in my comparative literature class. It wasn't too bad (with the swearing), I would just scribble over the offensive words thinking that I would keep the book (I usually don't sell books back to the bookstore). But then there was the whole section on their extracurricular activities (involving women); it just kept going on and on about how to pick up a "craft" use her and then kick her to the curb.

Anyway, it is no wonder the characters in the book are never satisfied, they think it is because the white man is holding them down (which I'm not saying is totally invalid), but they are looking for happiness in all the wrong places. I don't recommend this book.
