Editorial Reviews
Review
?A marvelous prose epic that matches the best nineteenth-century novels for richness of comic insight, and final, tragic power.? -- Newsweek --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description
(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)

The book that turned the gentle satirist of the Caribbean into a major literary figure, this is the story of a man who, without a single asset, enters a life devoid of opportunity; his tumble-down house becomes a potent symbol of the search for identity in a postcolonial world. His most widely read novel. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
