ABOUT THE WRITERS
MARLON JAMES, author of JOHN CROW’S DEVIL

"Marlon James spins his magical web in this novel and we willingly suspend disbelief, rewarded by the window he opens to Jamaica (and a world) rarely portrayed in fiction."
--Elizabeth Nunez, author of Bruised Hibiscus

Marlon James was born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1970. An award-winning artist and writer, this is his first novel. He lives in Kingston.

CHRISTOPHER JOHN FARLEY, author of KINGSTON BY STARLIGHT

“Kingston by Starlight is an extraordinary achievement. Filled with heart-racing voyages, exploits, and adventures—not to mention extraordinarily vivid and elegant prose—it surprises and amazes you at every turn. I could not put it down.” —Edwidge Danticat, author of The Dew Breaker

Christopher John Farley was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and now lives in New York. He is a senior editor at Time magazine.
