The Caribbean is the source of one of the richest, most accessible, and yet technically adventurous traditions of contemporary world literature. This volume of Caribbean short stories is pan-Caribbean, including stories from the four main languages of the region: English, Spanish, French and Dutch. Stories by major figures in the English language tradition such as V.S. Naipaul, Sam Sevlon and Jean Rhys are set alongside their Spanish- and French-speaking contemporaries like Alejo Carpentier, Jan Bosh, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Their work, in all its diversity of style, theme, and linguistic energy, provides a context for the work of a new generation of Caribbean writers like Edwidge Danticat, Robert Antoni, Astrid Roemer and Jamaica Kincaid. A celebration of regional creativity, the collection seeks to remind readers that the Caribbean is a multilingual, multicultural space.
