Read & Carry On – Caribbean Literature

Posted on July 17, 2018

It’s the summer and it’s a good time to talk about taking a break. Do you have plans to unwind?

Well I plan to celebrate the rekindling of my reading habit after cutting back to allow time for grieving, preparing for a new baby and all the life changes.

One of the goals of Carry On Friends is to celebrate Caribbean literature – books by Caribbean authors, Caribbean American authors and books by other authors regarding Caribbean life; an aspect of our culture which is underrepresented on the web.

To rekindle my love of Caribbean literature, I’m getting lost in these 3 recommended books for summer.

A House for Mr. Biswas by V.S. Naipaul – A re-read from from my Jamaican school days.
Fingerprints of Previous Owners by Rebecca Entel – Released last year but didn’t get a chance to read it.
How to Love a Jamaican by Alexia Arthurs – The exciting new release.

Check out other Caribbean literature we’ve read recommended in the past:

The Roving Tree (Haiti)

Not For Everyday Use (Trinidad)

The Dead Yard A Story of Modern Jamaica (Jamaica)

Other recommendations include Til The Well Runs Dry and Roxanne Gay’s, An Untamed State which was set in the U.S. and Haiti

Interested in reading along with me for the summer?
