There have been many great and enduring works of literature by
Caribbean authors over the last century. The Caribbean Contemporary
Classics collection celebrates these deep and vibrant stories,
overflowing with life and acute observations about society. A
sparkling collection of short stories set in Trinidad. Anthony
takes our hand and walks us from the valley of the lush, green
cocoa trees, to taste the sweet rivers flowing nearby. We pluck
fruit from the sapodilla tree and feel the crisp, brown guava
leaved carpet crunch under our feet. We see Mayaro and Port of the
Spain through the eyes of childish innocence and grown-up
ignorance. Beautiful, evocative and poignant, the stories are
sprinkled with themes of yearning for home, sad realisations and a
longing for a pre-modern totality.
