From the Blue Mountains to Corentyne Coast -and Islands between-: A Book of Caribbean Novels Reviews: Welcome World Authors and their Stories!

While offering only a glimpse into Caribbean novels, it is hoped that the reviews in this book will familiarize readers with some of the region's authors and their works. And that non-regional as well as regional readers will want to search out other outstanding writing from the Caribbean, and become acquainted with the many, many authors and their stories that the region has produced. Chief among these writers are the geniuses, Nobel Laureates, Trinidadian, Sir Vidia Naipaul, and St. Lucian Sir Derek Walcott. Other notable authors are Wilson Harris, George Lamming, Marlon James, Lawrence Scott, Robert Antoni, Monique Roffey, Amanda Smyth, Edwidge Danticat, Maryse Conde, Anthony C. Winkler, Elizabeth Nunez, Olive Senior and Edgar Mittelhozer to name just a few. And among these excellent writers, there may be yet one or two future Nobel Laureates. 'Best West Indian Stories Edited by Dr. Ken Ramchand' is an anthology of short fiction and presents wonderful stories by authors of an older generation. The review of 'Best West Indian Stories' in this book was written and published in the Trinidad Guardian about forty years ago.
