(1/3) Saddened to learn of the passing of the Guyanese writer, Rooplall Monar (1945-2024). A poet, novelist and short story writer, Monar’s work, which centers a rich Guyanese creole, paints vivid pictures of Indo-Guyanese lives on the terrain of the sugar estates and elsewhere.

(3/3) Monar's body of work treats with dignity the lives of the Guyanese rural working class and their resilience and community building in the face of exploitative conditions. peepaltreepress.com/authors/roopla…
