Wilson Harris Life

Sir Theodore Wilson Harris (24 March 1921 – 8 March 2018) was a Guyanese writer.

He began writing poetry but later became a well-known novelist and essayist.

His writing style is often described as abstract and densely metaphorical, and his subject matter is diverse.

Harris is regarded as one of the most original and innovative voices of English postwar literature.
