Samuel Selvon (the unusual Indian surname appears to be Tamil) was born on 20 May 1923, into a middle- class Presbyterian family in San Fernando, the southern city of Trinidad. His half- Scottish, half-Indian mother looked after the home, while his Madrasee father tended his dry-goods store in San Fernando. His mother, who spoke Hindi and English fluently, encouraged her children to be similarly bilingual, but Sam confesses that he eventually managed only a few swear words and common phrases.
