Synopsis

Fiction. Short stories."…These stories celebrate the legitimacy of informal knowledge and the authenticity of Creole culture. Wilson is onto new stuff…" —Sir Howard Fergus

"Few evoke so beautifully and completely credibly, a childhood that we now see as the childhood of the modern Caribbean." —Kendel Hippolyte

"SAME SEA...ANOTHER WAVE is a collection of 'I got something to tell you' stories. ... disarmingly soft…unassumingly shocking." —Rhoda Arrindell
