Looking for Josephine
Short StoriesA Trinidadian returns after long years away in America and yearns for points of contact with his past; a native Carib wanders listlessly and homelessly across meaning-less borders; a teacher confronts a young guerrilla he might have helped create; a man is haunted by a witnessed act of racial violence . . .
A gentle, deeply probing, and thoughtful look at various facets of Trinidadian life.
“This is a classic work of literature and should find a welcome space on the shelf beside Lamming and Naipaul.”
