Hudson, Mark

Mark Hudson’s novel The Music in My Head, about a white British music entrepreneur stranded in a fictional African city, was praised by the Village Voice as offering ‘music from the inside and a mad sprawl of a book that evokes it every which way’. His other books include Our Grandmothers’ Drums, Coming Back Brockens and Titian, the Last Days. He is also the art critic of the Independent.

Mark Hudson on Sam Selvon, The Lonely Londoners

There are books that linger in the mind because of their stories, characters or settings. There are books of such tragic intensity you feel you’ll take certain incidents and phrases with you to the grave. And there are books so funny that the mention of them induces an involuntary chuckle. Then there are the books that stay with you through the sheer verve and musicality of their language. The Lonely Londoners (1956) is that kind of book.
