University of the West Indies Press Alfred H. Mendes: Short Stories, Articles and Letters
Book SynopsisAlfred H. Mendes was a prominent member of the Beacon group of intellectuals whose aim in the 1930s was the development and promotion of a Trinidad-centred literature. He was a friend and colleague of the Beacon’s editor Albert Gomes, and of C.L.R. James and Ralph de Boissiere.Alfred. H. Mendes: Short Stories, Articles and Letters comprises thirteen stories, and articles and letters from the 1920s to the 1960s, including two letters to Mendes from the Trinidadian activist and pan-Africanist George Padmore. It is supported by an introduction, explanatory notes and a short glossary.Six of the stories have never been published. They include two autobiographical stories set in New York City during the Great Depression. Mendes’s first foreign publication, “Lai John”, co-authored with fellow Beacon writer Algernon Wharton, appears here for the first time since 1930. It is the first of a number of stories which Mendes wrote about Chinese immigrants. There are also stories about East Indian, Spanish and Syrian characters, English expatriates, and Mendes’s own people, the Portuguese Creoles of Trinidad.The articles and letters reflect the broad scope of Mendes’s interests and are lively, topical, carefully observed pieces, and like Mendes himself, frequently controversial. Alfred H. Mendes lived and wrote at a vitally important time in the history of the Caribbean. His stories and journalism are his lasting legacy to its peoples.

MCD X Fsg Originals The Dominant Animal Stories
Book SynopsisNamed a Best Book of 2020 by The Guardian, Southwest Review, and Publishers Weekly[The stories] are short, but their mood and imagery are lasting, and reflective of brutal truths of the commerce of human civilization . . . chilling, finely tuned pieces on power and survival. --Los Angeles TimesA collection of innovative and ambitious short stories from a visionary young literary artistIn The Dominant Animal-Kathryn Scanlan's adventurous, unsettling debut collection-compression is key. Sentences have been relentlessly trimmed, tuned, and teased for maximum impact, and a ferocious attention to rhythm and sound results in a palpable pulse of excitability and distress. The nature of love is questioned at a golf course, a flower shop, an all-you-can-eat buffet. The clay head of a man is bought and displayed as a trophy. Interior life manifests on the physical plane, where characters-human and animal-eat and breathe,
