Seller's Description:
London. 1982. Allison & Busby. 1st British Edition. Very Good in Worn Dustjacket With A Large Tear On The Front Top Spine. 0850314704. 254 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature Caribbean Black Guyana. FROM THE PUBLISHER-This is the tale of Kwaku, who was reduced to a state of idiocy by intelligent men, but made a spontaneous recovery. KWAKU tells of the outrageous adventures of a unique character, part con-man, part Everyman, part Holy Fool, and is by far the best and funniest novel Roy Heath has yet written. It is a picaresque saga that follows Kwaku from his childhood dreams of a glorious destiny to his search for the ideal wife, the ideal job and the easy life. He pursues his dreams of wealth, happiness and position with a fanaticism that is only defeated by his own magnificent failings. Roy Heath is already acknowledged as an outstanding novelist. But in KWAKU his writing really begins to sing and he reaches new heights. It is brilliantly conceived and constructed-but above all, it is hugely enjoyable. inventory #18079.

Seller's Description:
Fine. London: Fontana Paperbacks / Flamingo, April 1985. Trade Paperback. First T hus (no additional printings listed). Fine. Pages tanned, otherwise As New. Appears unread. Unmarked. Spine straight, tight and uncreased. Corners sha rp. Covers clean and bright. Not from a library. No remainder mark. 254 pag es. Kwaku comes from a long line of literary buffoons who manage to triumph over the intelligent people around them. The language Mr. Heath employs to describe this process is luxurious and densely baroque in places, sweetly comic in others. The hero's clowning conceals an essential wisdom and goodness. In the end, he is unable to become as hardened and corrupt as the people he tries so desperately to emulate, and in this lies his greatest success.
