Every story speaks to you . . . Trinidad Noir is an inimitable work
of art, a classical expose of the island's literary giants. For all
its color it never falls short on its singular statement that the
Caribbean people remain a distinctively creative force, a force
that has ensured their survival.-- "Kaieteur News (Guyana)"
Lovelace and Antoni offer a 'subversive' take on island culture to
complement the 21st-century look at Trinidad offered by Lisa
Allen-Agostini and Jeanne Mason's Trinidad Noir . . . Whether
history repeats itself or progress is stalled by people's infinite
capacity to get in their own ways, these 19 reprinted tales offer a
bittersweet perspective on the cussedness of human nature.--
"Kirkus Reviews"
Pairing nicely with 2008's Trinidad Noir, this retrospective
collection features classic stories from writers who were part of
the literary wave that crested with Trinidadian independence in
1962. Notable authors include Derek Walcott, V.S. Naipaul,
Elizabeth Nunez, Shani Mootoo, and the volume's editors. Holds
strong appeal for fans of noir and literary writing.-- "Library
Journal"
