The Guyanese Wanderer : Stories Paperback / softback
by Jan Carew
Paperback / softback
Description
"This is a stunning collection. Mesmerizing. Carew's foreshadowing is so deft, so subtle, we begin to ache before we should.
We swat swamp mosquitoes as we sit around the smoke-fire with granite-faced Doorne and his sons, sensing peril. and we understand seduction before we are drawn into it.
Carew's eloquence is irresistible; his ear for retrieving language so precise, so respectful, we nod comfortably at old friends.
Nuh? This experience under a full Guyanese moon is exquisite; is memory recovered.
As a matter of fact, Carew transcends academics or mere creativity when he does the impossible: returns to the past with us as tagalongs."—Mari Evans, author of Continuum and Clarity: (A Poet's Perspective)Jan Carew combines Caribbean folklore, ghost story, adventure tale, and literature of European exile to create a spirited dialect and colloquial voice that startles and delights; he’s comfortable confronting anything, racial prejudice or whimsical fable, the natural world or city slum.
