Song for Mumu is the debut novel of Jamaican-born writer Lindsay Barrett. Written between April 1962 and October 1966 while the author lived in Frankfurt, Germany, Paris, France, and Accra, Ghana,[1] it was published in 1967 by Longman in London, England, where Barrett participated in readings alongside writers associated with the Caribbean Artists Movement.[2]
Set on an unnamed Caribbean island, Song for Mumu is characterised as "an allegorical novel of desire, love, and loss".[1] It was favourably noticed on publication by such reviewers as Edward Baugh and Marina Maxwell (who respectively described it as "remarkable" and "significant").[3] It has also been called "a stylistic masterpiece of modern black fiction".[4]
