Eric Walrond (1898-1966) was a writer, journalist, and caustic critic. His short story collection, 'Tropic Death', was one of the first by a black author to depict Caribbean lives and voices in American fiction. Restoring him to his proper place as a luminary of the Harlem Renaissance, this biography situates 'Tropic Death' within Walrond's broader corpus and positions it as a catalyst and driving force behind the New Negro literary movement in America.
