Book Chapter
Mothertongue Voices in the Writing of Olive Senior and Lorna Goodison
2014
Overview
Jean D’Costa contends that West Indian writers who wish to satisfy themselves, their local audience, and their foreign audience must evolve a “literary dialect” that not only satisfies both these audiences but also is an authentic representation of the “language culture” of this community.¹ And Garth St. Omer, one of the better known of the West Indian novelists, comments on the dilemma of the postcolonial writer who must not only represent the society honestly but also must be understood by all in the society.² Both these writers are addressing a situation that is the context of this discussion on mothertongue.
