	Jouvert 5.1: Samuel Durrant, "Hosting History -- Wilson Harris's Sacramental Narratives"
		Harris thus presents his fiction not as escapist fantasy but as a mode of confronting the sorry state of the world that nevertheless affirms the potential for recreation (in both senses of the word).
		Harris’ hosting of history is not so much a dialectical resolution of the subject-object split as a refusal of the validity of the distinction between the two.
		Harris’ novels might thus be described as a kind of cheerful or "gay" (to use the Nietzschean term) mourning, a mourning performed in the interests of life.

	Walter Roth, Wilson Harris, and a Caribbean/Postcolonial Theory of Modernism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		For Harris, though, it is the detached attitude to his materials that characterizes Roth as a man driven by immense curiosity and genuine fascination with the 'primitive' and 'pagan' or 'savage' world.
		The dialogue with the past in Voss, as Harris sees it, is dramatized by the death-wish of the fictional explorer, Voss, in counterpoint to the birth-wish of his psychic bride, Laura – so that the catastrophe of the expedition is balanced by the regenerative symbolism of their psychic child.
		Harris at this time also reiterated his high regard for another Australian novelist, Randolph Stow, and particularly for his novel To the Islands, which he described as charting a 'shamanistic voyage' from the past into the future.

	DREAM, PSYCHE, GENESIS : The Works of Wilson Harris (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The title of this homepage sums up three major aspects of Wilson Harris’s writing: his philosophy of existence, his conception of man, and the central importance he ascribes in both art and society to the regenerating role of the imagination.
		Poet, novelist and essayist, of mixed Amerindian, European and African descent, now a British citizen, Wilson Harris is the author of twenty-two novels and two volumes of short stories, which he sees as so many instalments of a never-ending quest or ‘unfinished genesis of the imagination’.
		In his essays Harris has often drawn attention to the limitations of Cartesian logic and its anthropocentric interpretation of the world, contrasting it with a phenomenal legacy and a tradition perceptible still in pre-Columbian art and which implies, as he says, 'a treaty of sensibility between human presence on this planet and the animal kingdom'.

		Harris imagines a dialogue between the conquistador and Atahualpa, ruler of the Incas, being held to ransom until a room is filled with golden artefacts.
		Widely regarded as one of the giants of contemporary Caribbean literature, Wilson Harris's novel, The Mask of the Beggar, is an utterly original - and at times quite breathtaking - inquiry into the roots of consciousness and the cross-cultural realities and mythologies that have come to dominate the making of, and the nature of, art.
		Wilson Harris, best known for his novels including "The Palace of the Peacock", and "Jonestown", has been writing fiction and non-fiction since the 1960s.

	Jouvert 6.3: Andrew Armstrong, "Bloody History!"
		Harris, however, eschews a simple cause and effect version of history, opting instead to show the complexities and ambiguities at the core of histories and historiographies.
		Harris thus reads Jonestown as a repeated slaughter superimposed on other narratives of histories and legends and engages it in a playful intertextuality with these narratives by showing the scaffolding behind the construction of his novel.
		For Harris, the author is a mediator, in the religious sense of the word; however, not in the 'narrow' Christian sense, but in a wider, more eclectic manner that embraces the many religio-cultural influences in the Americas.

	Review: The Dark Jester by Wilson Harris \| By genre \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		Harris is fascinated by both, an inspiration he shares with other Guyanese, such as the writer Pauline Melville and the late painter Aubrey Williams.
		Harris is acutely aware of how the past lingers and can imprison the present, and of how this region's past in particular has been one of repeated conquest and catastrophe.
		Harris habitually links the myths and stories of diverse ages, with Caribbean culture emerging, as he says, from a "complex womb".

	The Palace of the Peacock: Wilson Harris and the Curriculum in Troubled Times--by Cameron McCarthy
		It is the manipulation of imagery, of metaphor, and symbol that constitutes the central activity in The Palace of the Peacock.
		In the novel, Harris attempts to place twentieth century humanity in conversation with those who have been designated as the people of "savage cultures." But it is these same savage cultures of the interior of Guyana that support the weight of civilized existence in the coastal suburbs.
		Harris is doing his best to suggest that they are in fact one subject of history, one community.

	Wilson Harris « The Books of My Numberless Dreams
		Considering my interest in mytho-spiritual writers with deeply felt philosophies it is no surprise that I’ve been intrigued by the Guyanese writer Wilson Harris ever since I read his Guardian profile.
		This proved true with Harris as well: they had a whole issue from 1995 dedicated to him, including excerpts from as yet unpublished work and an interview at the end.
		HARRIS: I prefer the term “universal unconscious” to “collective unconscious” because “collective unconscious” is primarily concerned with the human psyche.

	Drummerworld: Beaver Harris
		Harris’ resume was actually remarkably well rounded; not only did he work with icons like Monk and Rollins, but he played with old-schoolers like vocalist Maxine Sullivan, trumpeter Doc Cheatham and clarinetist Herb Hall, all of whom make vital contributions to the album.
		Harris not only enlisted a unique cross-section of musicians from the jazz community (Ron Carter, Jimmy Garrison and Cecil McBee are the bassists), but Caribbean and Indian musicians, as well.
		However, Harris’ obvious affection for the elders on the date and the styles they propagated stops well short of mushy nostalgia; and, he is not hesitant to nudge them, artistically.

	CONTEXT: Issue No. 13
		This might appear somewhat vague and cryptic to some readers; on the contrary, coming from Harris, this is blunt speech spoken in a combative tone: it is a direct criticism of dominant western—particularly American—culture whose universal proliferation is observed to be a form of global pollution.
		The artist remains nameless, but in these opening observations in the note his unspoken name could well be Wilson Harris: the “quantum cross-cultural art” he’s talking about is his own work and describes his authorial intention and method of writing not only in his present novel but indeed in all of his work.
		To tell the story of these people, suggests Harris, “well-nigh forgotten, ancient pre-Columbian imageries are explored”—a declaration of his method in all of his work and an important key to understanding any of it.

		Ryan Wilson, who was 22 years old, was running from undercover detectives with the Boulder County Drug Task Force in a field north of 2000 W. South Boulder Road after the detectives confronted him about marijuana plants they suspected him of growing in the area.
		He observed that Wilson had a knife clipped to his pants pocket and the account implies he first made the observation before he exited the truck to pursue Wilson on foot.
		Running after Wilson, Harris “saw Wilson reach down to his right pocket and make movements with his right hand as if to pull out the knife,” the account says.

		The last of the somewhat unified cycles of fiction by Wilson Harris is represented by his Carnival Trilogy, comprised of the novels Carnival (1985), The Infinite Rehearsal (1987), and The Four Banks of the River of Space (1990).
		As any writer from a colonized country writing in the postcolonial era, Wilson Harris has had to address the effects of colonization on the society which provided the source for his creative project.
		Harris has been interested in showing that the process of colonization affects both sides of the colonial divide, a point made very clearly by his Barbadian colleague Edward Brathwaite with regard to the working of language (Brathwaite 1971).

	Journal of Caribbean Literatures
		I don't intend to comment much on them, leaving the reader to make his own discoveries, though I wish to point out that "reading Wilson Harris", and therefore to some extent criticism on his work, is an important topic discussed by several contributors.
		Writers who, like Harris, are in advance of their time naturally run the risk of not being understood, and it may be unfair to quote Walcott from journalistic comments which he might now wish to retract.
		Nevertheless, as Stuart Murray argues, the difficulties of teaching Harris and of making his work accessible to young audiences must not be underrated in the context of more conventional approaches to literature.

	Journal of Caribbean Literatures
		It is appropriate that the JCLs' inaugural issue of the millennium is a special issue on Wilson Harris, a writer of such prominence that his bibliography expands almost daily.
		I consider Harris to be the most important Caribbean writer today, and one of the most influential in the total history of the literature. His dedication to the craft is tireless; his imagination and creative spirit are limitless; and his understanding of humanity and its various nuances are without equal.
		As those who attended the conference know, Harris became the dominant influence on that conference, so much so that two books based on or inspired by his talks and interviews were published in 1996.
