Sobre este artículo
Minneapolis. 1996. Coffee House Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket . 1566890497. 302 pages. hardcover. Jacket art/design by Jinger Peissig. keywords: Literature Caribbean Barbados Black. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Deeply engrossing and beautifully written, this debut novel marks the stunning arrival of a major new talent. Set on a fictional Caribbean island, Flickering Shadows is the story of the colorful and compelling inhabitants of a small ex-colony, a village called the Hill. Cephus's grandfather - one of the most intriguing narrators to appear in fiction in some time - draws the reader into the lives and vivid dramas of the whole community. Cephus, Doreen, Boysie, Inez, young Kwame, the ghost, Dolphus, and an array of vibrantly-depicted characters form a rich and hypnotic tale of love and betrayal, selflessness and honor, lust and dignity. Played out against a backdrop of political chicanery and religious corruption, this entrancing novel captivates from its first sentence to its breathtaking and unforgettable conclusion. People have been asking for some time now: where are the Bajan griot voices to succeed George Lamming, Paule Marshall, Austin Clark? Well, look in vain no further. Here, fresh & young in the spirit-fields of that nearest-to-Africa Caribbean island, is my namesake Kwadwo Agymah Kamau's first novel, Flickering Shadows, continuing the great coral/choral-calling tradition of Barbados.' - Kamau Brathwaite. inventory #23234 ISBN: 1566890497.
