But Kelley, it turns out, was not just a brilliantly experimental novelist but an accomplished photographer. He died last year, aged 79, and his family are currently cataloguing the several thousand negatives he left behind, many of them documenting everyday life in Jamaica, where he and his family lived for nine years in the 1970s.
