| Novelist, poet, and playwright, Samuel Selvon started writing during his spare time while working in the oilfields, serving in the Royal Naval reserve, and writing for newspapers and literary magazines |
Trinidad and Tobago author Samuel Selvon was honoured with his very own Google Doodle on his birthday, on May 20th, 2018.
Selvon grew up in South Trinidad and migrated to the UK in the 1950s alongside the Windrush Generation, where he wrote iconic books such as 'A Brighter Sun' and 'The Lonely Londoners'.
Selvon who passed away in 1994 is the first Trinbagonian to be given a Google Noodle.
Google said Sunday's Google Doodle by guest artist Jayesh Sivan "depicts Selvon and other members of the Caribbean migrant community set against the backdrop of London, which served as the inspiration and setting for much of his works".
