Puss Food and Other Jamaican Stories

Puss Food and Other Jamaican Stories is an eclectic and charming collection of fictional short tales that smartly and vividly highlight and examine the traditions, diligence, resourcefulness and idiosyncrasies of Jamaicans - in both rural and urban settings. Penned with unflinching candor by prize-winning Jamaican author Ditta Sylvester, the stories touch on a range of themes and issues that matter deeply to Jamaicans but are laced with universal appeal. This debut collection also includes her outstanding pieces "Freda's Harvest" and "Sugar Foster," which copped gold and silver medals respectively in the 2010 Jamaica Creative Writing Competition.
