Encapsulating life in the Caribbean in the last decades of the 20th century, these pieces, collected from the highly popular weekly column "In Our Time," are carefully infused with a poet's delight in the power of language and a craftsman's regard for meticulous structure. Deliberately blurring the lines between fiction and reality, these stories form an unrivalled portrait of a rapidly changing Caribbean society. Invoking memories to resurrect the people and places the author has known or loved, this is a seminal work from a mentor to a whole generation of West Indian authors.
