Summary:

This work of fiction, collection of short stories, by J.A. Roy Bodden, Caymanian Griot, denotes a significant movement in Caymanian literature in that it gives testimony to the volume of cultural wealth available for the creation of novel and captivating storytelling. Bodden's words paint a lavish landscape of everyday life in the Cayman of years gone by, placing his characters in a vivid world where we can taste, smell, and feel the essence of living history. In the manner of a cultural archaeologist, Bodden has excavated the grounds of our past, unearthed those things we are afraid to face, and placed them squarely in our path, so that we may confront them, honour those who have gone before us and heal, such that we can lay the a proper foundation for future generations. Long Celia, Woman of Blood and Bone and Other Stories, in some ways, is the Griot passing on the stories, to live in the minds and mouths of those to come.Nasaria SuckooCultural Practitioner
