Anthony C. Winkler (25 February 1942 – 18 September 2015)[1][2] was a successful Jamaican novelist and popular contributor to many post-secondary English literary texts. His first novel The Painted Canoe (1986), although taking the most time to write and publish, was his most rewarding, allowing him to move on and produce his best known book, The Lunatic (1987), which earned him a spot on the bestseller list. He also co-authored a number of English grammar textbooks, and other non-fiction works.[3]
