Book Description:
|
John Hearne was one of the first wave of West Indian writers to achieve international recognition in the 1950s. Though Hearne's novels are viewed as foundational Caribbean literature, they did not have the same traction as those of his contemporaries and his work is largely out of print. This collection brings together Hearne's short stories in a single volume and makes his writing available to a new generation of readers.
