Book Description
Living Stone is chilling and charming, sobering and refreshing. There’s the carnivalesque as an answer to botheration and danger all around, and there’s hope, after all. With a literary voice fusing the spoken and the scribal, Weekes offers insight into multi-layered Caribbean reality, where “There is a tourist sea and then there is our sea.” Living Stone is also a poetic account of violence against women, of social decorum (as a buttress and as a burden), of embodied spiritual ideas, of ancestral memories, and of the painfully personal that is justifiably made public.
