Caribbean books at the top
Debbie Jacob -
THIS YEAR’S NGC Bocas Lit Fest promised an event that I waited for with bated breath: the list of the top 100 Caribbean books that shaped us. The list lived up to all those feelings that such book lists evoke: nostalgia, joy, confusion, sadness, disappointment and even anger over books that didn’t make the list.
What is missing from the list tells a story just as important as books that did make the list. Non-fiction books barely made the list. Post-colonial literature proved scarce.
Many books on this list shaped my perceptions of the Caribbean reader and an immigrant. Given the nature of the question, I would have had to answer Miguel Street by VS Naipaul is the Caribbean book that shaped me the most because it moved me to get on a plane, come to Trinidad and make this island my home.
