Description
"Odyssey and discovery are what Cyril Dabydeen delves into in My Undiscovered Country - stories about place, identity and longings that ask: Who is Canadian, and what it means to be a Canadian? Critics have called Dabydeen a "short story master" (Canadian Literature), and in this latest collection, his stories of life in Guyana are interspersed with the urban landscape of Canada where Dabydeen has lived Canada for decades. His stories are distinctive with a strong narrative voice that encompasses fantasy and reality as ethnic and cultural roots commingle; the author's inflexion is mixed in with motifs when the tropics and the temperate merge. For Dabydeen, literature is undiscovered country. This is vital new fiction about possibilities and an enduring identity."--
