{"product_id":"new-worlds-old-ways-karen-lord-9781617755262","title":"New Worlds, Old Ways: Speculative Tales from the Caribbean","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"The Caribbean has a powerful, modern tradition of fantastic literature that's on full display in this anthology of original fiction by writers from Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, and Bermuda . . . None of these writers is likely to be familiar to American audiences, but all are worth getting to know. Readers who love the writing of Nalo Hopkinson, Tobias S. Buckell, and Lord herself will savor this volume.\" --\u003cem\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/em\u003e, Starred Review\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo not be misled by the 'speculative' in the title. Although there may be robots and fantastical creatures, these common symbols are tools to frame the familiar from fresh perspectives. Here you will find the recent past and ongoing present of government and society with curfews, crime, and corruption; the universal themes of family, growth and death, love and hate; the struggle to thrive when power is capricious and revenge too bittersweet. Here too is the passage of everything--old ways, places, peoples, and ourselves--leaving nothing behind but memories, histories, and stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anthology speaks to the fragility of our Caribbean home, but reminds the reader that although home may be vulnerable, it is also beautifully resilient. The voice of our literature declares that in spite of disasters, this people and this place shall not be wholly destroyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead for delight, then read for depth, and you will not be disappointed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrand-new stories by: Tammi Browne-Bannister, Summer Edward, Portia Subran, Brandon O'Brien, Kevin Jared Hosein, Richard B.
