The Tree of the Sun first published in 1978 begins where Wilson Harriss previous novel Da Silva da Silvas Cultivated Wilderness ended and thus forms a sequel.
The London-dwelling Brazilian painter Da Silva is deeply moved by his wifes pregnancy after eight years of marriage. As he contemplates the child to be born he recalls a painting he began on the very morning he and his wife made love and conception occurred: a painting that contained a growing image. This becomes the evolving foetus of imagination through which Da Silva begins to relate himself and his wife to the former (childless) tenants of their Kensington flat.
I must admire the imagination and force of Wilson Harris writing. Kevin Cully Tribune
