Illustration by Michael O'Brien. keywords: Literature Caribbean Black Guyana. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Human desires, yearnings and mysteries run close to the surface in Orealla, set in the sultry atmosphere of Guyana's capital, Georgetown, where decadence and the promise of excitement flourish among avenues of jacaranda and secret back yards. This is the world of Ben, who is suspended between the poles of two women of contrasting dispositions but is unable to find peace with either. Haunted by a restlessness born of being able and educated yet having to submit to the humiliation of serving a man he does not respect, he glimpses the tantalizing vision of a different way of life through his strange friendship with the aboriginal Indian Carl from Orealla-a village which seems doomed to lose its battle against the advance of an alien civilization. Ben finds his situation increasingly intolerable and his revenge, when it comes, is devastating. But is it revenge on his master and on the world, or on himself? Roy Heath, acknowledged for his skill at portraying human psychology at its most profound, knows his characters on a level where they hardly know themselves, and in this brimming but brilliantly controlled new novel he presents a community of people who respond fervently and with humour to life's ironies and passions. inventory #643.
