AUTHOR

Carew, Jan R., Clarke, Austin

SUMMARY

"In The Guyanese Wanderer, Jan Carew sets an eye and 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 sic 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." "Beltina puts her husband in his place with a prospecting knife. Gelfon comes of age with the help, and seduction, of Couvade, a preacher-woman. A tag-a-long 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."--BOOK JACKET.Carew, Jan R. is the author of 'Guyanese Wanderer Stories', published 2007 under ISBN 9781932511505 and ISBN 1932511504.
