In the Eye of the Storm: Edgar Mittelholzer - Critical Perspectives Jerry Harasymowicz on the shore there areIn the 1950s and early 1960s no Anglophone Caribbean novelist had a higher profile and was more praised than Edgar Mittelholzer. He was the first Caribbean writer to earn his living from writing and his earlier novels in particular found enthusiastic reviewers in the UK and USA.
