The Oxford Book of Caribbean Short Stories

The Caribbean is the source of one of the richest, most accessible, and yet technically adventurous traditions of contemporary world literature. This collection of Caribbean short stories is pan-Caribbean, ranging beyond the Anglophone territories to include stories originally published in Spanish, French, and Dutch. It brings together for the first time contributions from major figures such as V. S. Naipaul, Jean Rhys, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and work from the exciting new generation of Caribbean writers represented by Edwidge Danticat, and Jamaica Kincaid.
