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.
