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. 'Tiger
thought, To my wife, I man when I sleep with she. To bap (father),
I man if I drink rum. But to me, I no man yet.' Trinidad is in the
turbulent throes of the Second World War, but the war feels quite
far away to Tiger - young and inexperienced, he sets out to prove
his manhood and independence. With his child-bride Urmilla, shy,
bewildered and anxious, with two hundred dollars in cash and a
milking cow, he sets out into the wilderness of adulthood. There is
no map or directions for him to follow, he must learn for himself
and find his own way. Suitable for readers aged 15 and above.
