Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Keane and Nanton open a poetry route, while Thomas and Browne offer different kinds of fiction. Thomas, a Vincentian writer based in Canada, examines class, racism and pressure on gay characters. Browne, also connected to the British diaspora, introduces private investigator Cassie Providence. Nanton lives in Barbados, but his origins and Canouan Suite ground this route through Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
