Produktbeschreibung
"Under the Calabash Tree" is a collection of short stories that capture events and experiences that span the years between the 1960s and 2021. Guyanese folklore, history, lifestyles, and practices are woven together to create fictional scenarios that mirror the times. Places, faces, and times leave their mark on our memories like indelible footprints. These footprints can often become visible in the choices we make, the lives we live, and the heritage we pass on to future generations. This collection of short stories is a work of fiction built upon folklore, oral history, memories, news stories, the author's imagination, and life experiences in Guyana. The short stories written in this collection are of varying lengths. Some are very short stories, others are a little longer, while others are much longer. Some have a single plot, a single scene, and a single experience. Others are more complex with multiple characters and multiple scenes, while others have satirical implications. All these stories came from the heart, emerging as living tales that demanded to be written at the time of their conception.
