摘　　要：Liminality theory remains underused in discussions of post World War II Caribbean writing in the UK.This essay re-considers Samuel Selvon’s seminal 1956 novel The Lonely Londoners through the lens of liminality.In this essay,liminality is used as a lens through which the novel’s characters,structure,locations,and language are viewed.The Lonely Londoners emerges as the prototypical liminal text,with each of its elements occupying an interstitial space between modernist experiment and a postcolonial alternative-or challenge to imperialist fictions.
