“Limbo tells the story of Pharaoh Chisholm, a United States citizen born in Trinidad who moves to Norway, the home country of his wife. Like his protagonist, Henry was born in Trinidad, moved to America as a boy and is married to a Norwegian . . . Henry . . . drew on his experience living in a small, ethnically homogenous country [which allowed] him to write in great detail about the difficulty a black man from America has in adjusting to life in a country where he is culturally isolated.”
