Roger Mais (August 11, 1905 Kingston−June 21, 1955 Kingston) was a Jamaican journalist, novelist, poet, and playwright. He was born to a middle-class family in Kingston, Jamaica. By 1951, Mais had won ten first prizes in West Indian literary competitions. His integral role in the development of political and cultural nationalism is evidenced in his being awarded the high honor of the Order of Jamaica in 1978.Roger Mais died from cancer in June 1955 at age 49, just weeks after his third book, Black Lightning, was published.






Critics

critics say, he may be not as well known as those national heroes, but Mais had a major social impact as an author and painter. In fact, he can be considered Jamaica's version of Jack Kerouac, the American who influenced the Beat Generation of the late 1950s.
