  AUSTIN CLARKE'S WRITING IS THOROUGHLY ENTERTAINING. LIKE W.P. KINSELLA'S NATIVE INDIANS, CLARKE'S WEST INDIANS SHOW A KIND OF OFF-THE-WALL HUMOUR, COLOURFUL LANGUAGE AND REBELLION AGAINST THE RULES OF THE WHITE MAN. LIKE BHARATI MUKHERJEE'S EAST INDIANS, THESE CHARACTERS DISPLAY A SENSE OF ACH- ING ALIENATION AND THE PAINFUL CONFLICT BETWEEN HOMELAND AND NEW LAND. MOST OF THE STORIES ARE ABOUT LOVE, SEX, AND CREATIVITY. FOR FULL CONTENTS SEE PAGE 2. CONTENTS: A FUNERAL CANADIAN EXPERIENCE DOING RIGHT A SHORT ACQUAINTANCE IF ONLY: ONLY IF...
