Geoffrey Philp: Interview With La Estrella de Panama




A few weeks ago, Luis Pulido Ritter interviewed me for La Estrella de Panama. We talked about homophobia, fatherhood, Marcus Garvey, and the influence of Rastafari on my work. Luis also wrote an insightful review of the title story for Who's Your Daddy?  and made some interesting comments about the collection's relevance to the literature and history of the Caribbean.

On this rainy Wednesday morning in Miami, I am giving thanks to Luis and La Estrella de Panama for giving me the opportunity to be published in Panama--something which I hope my older cousin, Roy McCatty, whose paternal grandfather James McCatty worked on the Panama Canal, will be proud.
