Cricket in the Road

There have been many great and enduring works of literature by Caribbean authors over the last century. The Caribbean Contemporary Classics collection celebrates these deep and vibrant stories, overflowing with life and acute observations about society.

A sparkling
collection of short stories set in Trinidad. Anthony takes our hand and walks
us from the valley of the lush, green cocoa trees, to taste the sweet rivers
flowing nearby. We pluck fruit from the sapodilla tree and feel the crisp,
brown guava leaved carpet crunch under our feet. We see Mayaro and Port of
the Spain through the eyes of childish innocence and grown-up ignorance. Beautiful,
evocative and poignant, the stories are sprinkled with themes of yearning for
home, sad realisations and a longing for a pre-modern totality.
