A superb collection from one of Canada's acclaimed short story writers. Cyril Dabydeen's Forgotten Exiles presents vibrant, humorous, and emotionally charged stories that explore displacement, identity, and belonging. Drawing on his Guyanese and Caribbean roots, Dabydeen reflects on his life in the 1970s, from planting trees in the rugged landscapes around Lake Superior to navigating cultural divides between Canada and the Amazon. His rhythmic prose and vivid imagery tackle themes of race, class, and self-discovery, with love triangles and social concerns at the heart of these compelling narratives, reaffirming Dabydeen's mastery of contemporary fiction.
