Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. George Wrights autobiography is the unforgettable story of a man who rose from poverty and hardship to build a life of dignity and purpose. Born into great need in the fishing village of Sans Souci, Wright endured abuse, hunger and instability. Yet he discovered early his gift as a keen observer, recording with humour and honesty the everyday details of Trinidadian life: funerals and festivals, bush medicine and obeah, the rhythms of school and village community. As a young runaway in Port of Spain, Wright survived by ingenuity: working as a yard boy, factory hand, bauxite loader, trader in Suriname, even living in a tree. Along the way, he read Shakespeare and Dickens, painted houses, bartended, fought when challenged, and captured it all with extraordinary clarity. His life transformed when he found love, built a home in Laventille and earned respect as man of business for a local entrepreneur. More than memoir, Wrights story is a testament to resilience, integrity and hope, an inspiring Caribbean life narrative for all readers of autobiography.
