Edgar Mittelholzer's autobiography, first published in 1963, which covers the first eighteen years of his life, was his first return in writing to about his native Guyana, of memory and imagination, for a good many years. Born into a household that regarded itself as European, Mittelholzer writes with vivid feeling about what it was like to be a boy whose "swarthiness" was anathema to his bigoted father. In the process, Mittelholzer gives an account of his family that is frank and searching and an account of the role of race, class and gender in small-town colonial life that is unrivalled in its perception.
