And Central To Caribbean Literature Is The Short Story, With Its Ties With The Oral Tradition. Now, The Oxford Book Of Caribbean Short Stories, Edited By Stewart Brown And John Wickham, Brings Together Fiftytwo Stories In A Major Anthology Representing Over A Century'S Worth Of Pancaribbean Short Fiction. This Breathtaking Collection Is Uniqueand Indispensablein Its Inclusion Of Authors From The English, French, Spanish, And Dutchspeaking Caribbean.The Distinctly Anglophone Viewpoint Of Such Prominent Authors As, Jean Rhys, Sam Sevlon, V.S. Naipual, And E.A. Markham Is Richly Contrasted By Contributions From French, Spanish, And Dutch Writers Like Alejo Carpentier, Ren Depestre, And Thea Doelwijt, While The New Generationrepresented By Such Writers As Edwidge Danticat And Patrick Chamoiseaupoints The Way Forward For Caribbean Writing Into The Twentyfirst Century. With His Stimulating Introduction, Brown Provides An Uptodate Overview Of Caribbean Writing.
