{"product_id":"something-rich-and-strange-martin-zehnder-9781900715737","title":"Something Rich and Strange: Selected Essays on Samuel Selvon","description":"For those who love the rich comedy of Selvon's fiction, and for students of Caribbean writing, these essays do the essential - return us to his books with a deeper appreciation of their art and questioning humanity. Essays by leading Caribbean critics including Harold Barratt, John Thieme, Kenneth Ramchand, and Maureen Warner-Lewis address issues of the relationship between Indianness and West Indianness, Selvon's treatment of gender, and the significance of his experimentation with language register. Essays imply a debate as to how Selvon should be read: within the framework of the conventional novel or within a nativist Caribbean literary aesthetic. Two interviews and a detailed bibliography enhance the value of this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Zehnder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1900715732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781900715737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peepal Tree Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.12h x 5.72w x 0.52d","brand":"Martin Zehnder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486235734271,"sku":"9781900715737","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b0e1812-560a-4443-96a4-c7fae457b320.jpg?v=1778054483","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/something-rich-and-strange-martin-zehnder-9781900715737","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
