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.\"\u003cbr\u003e—Mari Evans, author of \u003ci\u003eContinuum and Clarity: (A Poet's Perspective)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJan 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sarabande Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47048456863984,"sku":"9781932511505","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781932511505_p0.jpg?v=1763639748","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781932511505","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
