New York. 1951. Knopf. 1st American Edition. Bookstore Sticker in Front, Otherwise Very Good. No Dustjacket. 235 pages. hardcover. keywords: Caribbean Literature World Literature. DESCRIPTION - In Ti-Coyo and His Shark, an immoral fable for sophisticated people, wickedness triumphs because it is charming. The scene is the exotic Caribbean before, during, and after the famous eruption of Mount Pelee. Ti-Coyo, a shrewd and winning half-caste boy, rescues a wounded baby shark, which becomes his faithful servant as it grows into a monster fearful to everyone but him. With the help of this behemoth Ti-Coyo becomes rich and wins the flaxen-haired princess of his dreams. It is the shark, too, who saves Ti-Coyo, his ill-assorted parents, and his sweetheart when Mount Pelee pours destruction over St. Pierre. Altogether this book by a martiniquais educated in France (where Ti-Coyo was showered with prizes) is an unholy delight. inventory #6279 Bookstore Sticker in Front, Otherwise Very Good.
