Ian McDonald (Guyanese writer)
Ian McDonald (born 18 April 1933) is a Caribbean-born writer who describes himself as "Antiguan by ancestry, Trinidadian by birth, Guyanese by adoption, and West Indian by conviction." His ancestry on his father's side is Antiguan and Kittitian, and Trinidadian on his mother’s side. His only novel ''The Humming-Bird Tree'', first published in 1969, is considered a classic of Caribbean literature.〔(Nicholas Laughlin, "Ian McDonald: Evening in the Garden" ), ''Caribbean Beat'', Issue 96, March/April 2009.〕
