About This Item
London. 1974. Faber & Faber. Paperback Reprint. Very Good in Wrappers. 0571105572. 108 pages. paperback. . keywords: Literature Caribbean Guyana Black. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Mr Harris's new novel opens with a hauntingly powerful evocation of childhood: the age when the whole world of sensation - even the day-to-day dealings with family and friends - has a hallucinating freshness. Events in the narrator's early life in a Guyanese seaport town - death in the family, the strange apparent betrayals in childhood relationships-are counterpointed with events years later in the depths of the hinterland, where the tensions between past and present manifest themselves in terms both personal and universal. The mechanized acquisitiveness of the twentieth century and the hidden riches of the immemorial jungle are the cause of conflicts whose destructiveness is more than merely material and transitory. Although the growing number of those who have come to value Mr Harris's writings will recognize his theme, they will discover new and unsuspected facets revealed by the intensity of his vision. inventory #4424 ISBN: 0571105572.
