Summary:

Jan Carew combines Caribbean folklore, ghost story, adventure tale, and literature of European exile to create a spirited dialect and colloquial voice that startles and delights; he's comfortable confronting anything, racial prejudice or whimsical fable, the natural world or city slum.

Jan Carew, a writer, educator, philosopher, and advisor to several nation-states, was born and educated in Guyana. In London, he was a broadcaster, writer, and editor with the BBC. The author of six novels and a multitude of plays, poetry, articles, and stories, he has resided in Mexico, England, France, Spain, Ghana, Canada, and now lives in Louisville, Kentucky.
