Paperback. Condition: New. Trinidadian author Ismith Khan (1925-2002) is celebrated in this new critical study, which sheds invaluable and entertaining light on his life, his short stories and his three novels: the semi-autobiographical The Jumbie Bird (1961), The Obeah Man (1964), which was adapted as a play for the BBC, and The Crucifixion, published by Peepal Tree Press in 1987. Khan's literary accomplishments are given in-depth treatment, particularly his skill in representing the diversity of Trinidadian culture across language, generation, ethnicity and class. Clear and well-documented, the survey gives a persuasive case for the re-evaluation of this great writer's work."Khan's ear for dialect and his ability to render it in print made his novels lasting successes." - The New York TimesRoydon Salick is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Liberal Arts at the University of the West Indies, Trinidad. He is the author of The Novels of Samuel Selvon: A Critical Study (2001).

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. The first full-length study of Selvon that covers all aspects of his fictional world - poems, radio dramas, short fiction, and novels. It shows the evolution of Selvon as fledging author of poems and short fiction to an established short-story writer and novelist. It argues that Selvon enjoys a special niche in West Indian literature because of his celebration of the enormous struggle of the Indo-Trinidadian peasant out of the cane experience into every professional field and politics, of the glamorization of the West Indian immigrant (The Lonely Londoners), and of his daring use of the linguistic continuum of his island, establishing it as a dialect that meets every exigency of his artistry. He is the most democratic and predictive of Trinidadian writers, establishing the unlimited literary potential of the ordinary man and anticipating concerns of politicians, linguists, and artists.

First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Wraps (PB) in near fine condition. Shedding light on valuable--and often highly entertaining--biographical material regarding the life of Trinidadian writer Ismith Khan, this monograph displays a cogent appreciation for this author s literary accomplishments. Insightful readings of Khan s three novels and his collection of stories are included, exploring his skill in representing the diversity of Trinidadian English and Creoles across generations, ethnicities, and class. Celebrating Khan as a poet of urban experience and the passage from rural to urban lives, this study is equally acute on his exploration of identity within an ethnically diverse society. Clear and well-documented, this survey demonstrates a persuasive case for the reevaluation of this writer's work. 124 pages with bibliography and index.
