001: Sam Selvon

At least as of August 15, 2018, the Wikipedia entry on Trinidadian writer Sam Selvon does not yet mention the interesting fact that he was romantically involved with Kamla Tewari (née Naipaul) -- the sister of writers V.S. Naipaul and Shiva Naipaul.

For that, we must rely on Patrick French's great biography of Sir Vidia, The World is What It is.
