Soh Dem Gwaan! is the third collection of short stories by Joelle Cohen Wright who continues with side-splitting and laugh-out-loud stories portraying the diverse personalities of the Jamaican culture. As the wonderful mix of characters speak in the rich Jamaican dialect (patois), the stories draw readers into their everyday lives as they engage in playful banter and contentious disputes with each other.

Be prepared to laugh out loud.
