{"product_id":"9781900715737","title":"Something Rich and Strange: Selected Essays on Samuel Selvon","description":"For those who love the rich comedy of Selvon's fiction, and for students of Caribbean writing, these essays do the essential - return us to his books with a deeper appreciation of their art and questioning humanity. Essays by leading Caribbean critics including Harold Barratt, John Thieme, Kenneth Ramchand, and Maureen Warner-Lewis address issues of the relationship between Indianness and West Indianness, Selvon's treatment of gender, and the significance of his experimentation with language register. Essays imply a debate as to how Selvon should be read: within the framework of the conventional novel or within a nativist Caribbean literary aesthetic. Two interviews and a detailed bibliography enhance the value of this book.\u003cp\u003eAuthor Biography: Martin Zehnder lives in Zurich, Switzerland, and lectures at the University of Zurich.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peepal Tree Press Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060474560752,"sku":"9781900715737","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781900715737_p0.jpg?v=1763613182","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781900715737","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
