Book: Songster And Other Stories Deftly navigating between the present and the past, this collection of bittersweet short stories explores the tensions between image and reality in contemporay Trinidad, discovering a land that is, for the author, as imperfect as it is "home." Tales set in the present day show the traditional, communal world in retreat before the forces of local and global capitalism, as when a local fisherman challenges a segregationist club and pays with his life.
