HISTORIC “PINK’UN” COTTAGE WHERE JOHN STEINBECK ONCE WROTE

This is the historic “Pink’Un” cottage (East Bay Street, Nassau, Bahamas), where famed author John Steinbeck spent some time writing in 1958. The "Pink-Un" is said to be over one hundred years old.

Patricia Glinton-Meicholas, described on her website as “author, cultural critic and historian” and her husband artist/photographer Neko Meicholas used to run their publishing company Guanima Press from the “Pink’Un”, where I once visited them. “Patty”, as I know her, is famous for her book “How To Be a True-True Bahamian (The Island Life)” (among others), which I loved and still have a copy of.

I first met the award-winning Patty, along with Joan Albury, at their marketing communications agency The Counsellors Ltd when I did some freelance writing for them.
