Seller's Description:
Louisville. 2007. Sarabande Books. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9781932511505. 107 pages. paperback. Cover illustration by Jan Carew. Cover & text design by Charles Casey Martin. keywords: Literature Caribbean Guyana Black. FROM THE PUBLISHER-In The Guyanese Wanderer, Jan Carew sets a fabulist eye and elegant hand to both old world and new. Combining Caribbean folklore, ghost story, adventure tale, and the literature of European exile, these narratives contain a spirited dialect and colloquial voice that startles and delights. The journey begins in Carew's homeland, among the gaudy parrots, jaguars, and six o'clock bees of Guyana, and then shifts to the boulevards of London and Paris. Carew's characters-hunters and seers, buffoons and book-people-defy convention, especially the strong-willed women. Betina puts her husband in his place with a prospecting knife. Belfon comes of age with the help, and seduction, of Couvade, a preacher-woman. A tagalong hunter named Tonic gets in over his head in a stampede of hogs. And in London, a black man called Caesar, prefers a landlord who puts his racism up front. Carew has lived a long life, in countries all over the world. He's comfortable taking on just about anything, whether racial prejudice or whimsical fable, the fierce natural world or city slum. These are the brilliant songs of a learned man. inventory #13599.
