About this author

edit data

A prolific and multifaceted artist, Chen began publishing his stories of Trinidad life in the 1980s in journals and newspapers. His only collection to date, King of the Carnival and Other Stories, was published in 1982. Traditional in his literary style, his central theme is the encounter between cultures in the often harsh context of his native island; strangely, the Chinese community, into which he was born, rarely appears in his work. A painter and sculptor, he designed the Christ the Lord Roman Catholic Church in Marabella, Trinidad. He was awarded the National Hummingbird Medal for Art and Culture in 1989.
