Early Life and Education
Hyde was born in Belize City to a large family led by his father, Charles B. Hyde, a public servant. He attended the Holy Redeemer Boys' School, prior to its amalgamation with a girls' school of the same name, and the all-male St. John's College High School in Belize City. Evan particularly excelled at creative writing. He was among the first students to attend the SJC Junior College in 1964 and 1965, before being granted a scholarship by the U.S. Embassy to study at Dartmouth in Hanover, New Hampshire. Evan enrolled in September 1966 and graduated in June 1968 among the top students in his class. He had settled on a writing career, but events which were to unfold over the next five years greatly altered that outlook.

—Gerald Early (20th century)
“I began quite early in life to sense the thrill a girl attains in supplying money to a man.”
—Anita Loos (1894–1981)
“The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative.”
