In this collection, award-winning author Austin Clarke has caught,
in his characters, a sweet longing for youth and an
anxiety-stricken rage at old age; an immigrant's longing for a
placid, lost home and his lust for a new high-speed motorcar life;
and an intellectual's sense of empowerment by black history even as
he watches what little he knows about such history engulf him.
These are intense and private lives made public by the force of
their individual voices, voices that may be rambunctious and
fractious but that are, nonetheless, elegant in their intent and
humor and their acceptance that is never acquiescence. The volume
also includes a prose portrait of Austin Clarke by acclaimed author
Barry Callaghan.
