This collection brings together new and uncollected stories and selections from E.A. Markhams two previous collections, Something Unusual (1984) and Ten Stories (1992). Each of the stories has its own crafted completeness, whether in the observant humour of ""The Pig Was Mine"", the bleakness of ""Skeletons"", the audacious mythologizing of ""A Short History of St. Cesaire"", or the absurdist magical realism of ""Digging."" They confirm him as one of the most original users of the short story form in both British and Caribbean fiction.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - The stories in this collection have as their core the motion of travel, primarily from Montserrat to Britain, but also to continental Europe. For Markham, the drawing room is both the repository of memories and of family network, and the refuge of a West Indian from a society that had its own social graces in a Britain that harbors the stereotype that nothing of value has been brought to the country. Each of the stories has its own crafted completeness, whether in the observant humor of 'The Pig Was Mine,' the bleakness of 'Skeletons,' the audacious mythologizing of 'A Short History of St. Cesaire,' or the absurdist magical realism of 'Digging.' But within the great variety of tone, there are recurrences of character, alter egos, and location. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781900715690
