Download or read book Storm of Fortune written by Austin Clarke and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2012-08-07 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second book in Austin Clarke’s groundbreaking Toronto Trilogy about the lives of black people in Canada. In Storm of Fortune, Clarke brings us into a circle of West Indian domestics—their friends, lovers, spouses, and employers—living in Toronto in the late 1950s. In lush, invigorating prose, Clarke illuminates the world of Bernice Leach—a world inhabited by earthy, garrulous, but terribly isolated people, all living, working, and struggling within an alien, white, Canadian culture. He brilliantly articulates the unsettled attitudes of his characters towards themselves, their community, and their fellow immigrants, exploring questions of status and social mobility. In turn, he unites these themes into a devastating commentary on the quest for success in North America. Dominated by warm, superbly drawn characters and pulsing with the nation language of Clarke’s characters’ speech, Storm of Fortune is a window into one of the most dynamic periods of Canadian history—one that has brought so much to bear on our present.

Download or read book Amongst Thistles and Thorns written by Austin Clarke and published by New Canadian Library. This book was released on 1984 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Set in Barbados in the early 1950s, this uncompromising novel depicts the pain of childhood in a world where poverty and blackness are despised, and kids are treated as objects on which adults can take out their self-contempt and frustration. Milton Sobers is a nine-year-old on the run from a series of sadistic beatings from both his schoolmaster and his washer-woman mother. Dreaming of a life in Harlem, which is predominately black, open, and free, Milton encounters many comic and sad adventures that inevitably return him to the situation he was trying to escape. Originally published in 1965, this pertinent portrayal of the destruction of innocence explores the commonality of physical violence in the lives of Caribbean youth while offering hope for the intelligent child protagonist."--Goodreads

Download or read book The Origin of Waves written by Austin Clarke and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2011-02-18 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Austin Clarke’s luminous novel, written in vivid, hypnotic prose, reveals the dislocations of place and the nature of memory and the past. Two elderly Barbadian men, childhood friends who haven’t seen each other in fifty years, collide in a snowstorm on a Toronto street. In the warmth of a nearby bar, through the afternoon and into the night, they relate stories, exchange opinions, and share memories of a past in Barbados when, as children, neither could conceive any other place existed for them. As these two men confess to each other their innermost truths, their exploits and their love affairs, one tells the haunting story of a young Chinese woman, the other of the real reason for his visit to Toronto. Infused with pathos and humour, and with an affecting nostalgia for the idea of home, The Origin of Waves is a stunning and original novel by one of the country’s most gifted writers.
