There is a week in October each year when a particular subset of readers—Caribbean or otherwise—hold their breaths, hoping to hear a particular writer’s name. The reason is the annual announcement of the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, and the writer this time is Dionne Brand, whom many readers and scholars consider a leading contender for the award.

Sanya Mathura was leading a lubrication training out in St Maarten when a man put his hand up and asked about her background and competency to train him. “My background is whatever is behind me,” she joked, but Mathura knew where he was going with this. She retold the story to the Sunday Guardian’s WE Magazine, “He said, “No. I need to know if you are technically competent to speak to me on this subject.’”

In 2022, when I was in London, I saw Geetanjali Shree on the International Booker Prize live stream in an elegant black kurta set off by a slash of red scarf on stage after she won the International Booker Prize (awarded annually for a single book translated into English and published in the UK or Ireland).

“Almost every woman in the story of Jesus is called Mary... More commonly, the Marys have combined and then divided, only to fuse again with other, unnamed women in Jesus’s circle. They seem particularly attracted to Mary Magdalene, to whom they cluster like pins to a dressmaker’s magnet... Mary Magdalene has always represented ‘the sinner we should aspire not to be and the saint we aspire to become’.” Multiplying Marys, by Marina Warner, London Review of Books, Volume 40 Number 4, 22 February 2024.
