Dr.Anthony

Born in Mayaro, Trinidad, on 10 February 1932 to Nathaniel Anthony and Eva Jones Lazarus. Anthony was educated at Mayaro Roman Catholic       School and Junior Technical College, San Fernando, Trinidad. He subsequently took a job as a foundry worker in Pointe-à-Pierre for five  years but had ambitions to become a journalist, and poems of his were published by the Trinidad Guardian in 1953. Yet it was not enough for        him to secure a new job locally and Anthony decided to further his career in the United Kingdom. His voyage there on board the Hildebrandt took place in December 1954. In England he held several jobs including as a sub-editor at Reuters news agency (1964-8), while developing his career as a writer, writing short stories for the BBC radio programme Caribbean Voices.  In 1979 he was awarded the Hummingbird Medal (Gold) for his contributions to Literature, and he received an honorary doctorate from the University of the West Indies (UWI) in 2003.
               

Four years later, Anthony published his first book, The Games Were Coming, a cycling story inspired by real events. He followed up its success with The Year in San Fernando and Green Days by the River. He eventually returned to Trinidad in 1970 (after spending two years as part of the Trinidadian diplomatic corps in Brazil, where his novel King of the Masquerade is set) and worked variously as an editor, a researcher for the Ministry of Culture, and as a radio broadcaster of hIn.
