Product DescriptionA collection of stories depicting America from the unique perspective of the immigrant, spotlights themes of oppression, liberation, prejudice, and compassionFrom Publishers WeeklyThough many of the 10 stories in this collection from the author of Telephone to Heaven are inspired by historical events, such as the Holocaust or the civil rights movement, they quickly become intricate and lyrical explorations of inner geography. One, 'Columba,' reflects the Jamaicaborn author's roots; the rest are set in America as perceived by newcomers. We see this most poignantly in 'Election Day 1984,' in which a 'spinster woman' explains to a new immigrant her decision to rescue a child and then give him awayfor his own good. 'Screen Memory' illuminates a black entertainer's loss of the feeling of home. Best is the title story, a manylayered threnody expressed in an old woman's reaching out to a brother from whom she was separated. Strong and spare, yet not simple, the stories are testaments to the courage of ordinary people who cope withand often transcendthe circumstances of their lives.Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
