Jonny Wright & Kerry Young

Jonny Wright considers the sobering contemporary parallels of a 1959 play, and Kerry Young explores her literary origins. Jonny Wright considers the sobering parallels between the 1959 play A Raisin In The Sun, featuring a black family in Southside Chicago, and the racial inequality, downward economic mobility and defacto housing segregation of contemporary London. Kerry Young describes her journey from failing ‘O’-level English to becoming a successful novelist, and how her writing is a gift both to her late father and to the diverse cultures that have produced contemporary Jamaica.
