Autorenporträt

"Edison T Williams' Tales from Ichirouganaim is a collection of superbly crafted short stories steeped in the essence of Barbados. These tales of universal appeal give us deep insight into the paradoxical Barbadian character, torn, as it so often is, by the comfort of tradition and the lure of modernity. The stories and the characters are often rooted in a rural era of well-defined traditions and values as they explore the ambiguities of a rapidly modernising Barbados. This leads to delightfully humorous situations, often tinged with sadness and, occasionally, tragedy, but always with a redemptive note. Enjoy the work of this master craftsman." - Peter Laurie, author, newspaper columnist and former Barbados diplomat. With an ear to the past and an eye on the present that reflect ongoing social realities in the Caribbean, not to mention who we still aspire to be as a people, Edison T Williams remains readable, relatable and very entertaining. Something of a moral pragmatist, he is one of Barbados most vital storytellers writing today. - Robert Edison Sandiford, author of Fairfield: The Last Sad Stories of G. Brandon Sisnett
