Book Description
"With her I immediately sensed that it had to do with who I was, where I'd been born, and where I'd been living these last twenty-five hears. This was thef irst time she was meeting me
'He's a Brahmin,' she finally said, sternly, as if I wasn't there with them."
There closely observed stories, with their gritty poetic desritions and finely irionic twists, confront Dabydeen's Asian and Caribbean-South American identity with his experience of life in Canada, where he has lived for over three decades.
