However, Fred D'Aguiar's both typical and untypical Caribbean background, in addition to the singularity of his diction, call for a different approach, which Leo Courbot convincingly carries out by reading literature in the light of Jacques Derrida and Édouard Glissant's less conventional sense of the intrinsically metaphorical and cross-cultural nature of language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface: Reading Fred D’Aguiar  Acknowledgements  General Introduction: Caribbean Orphic  Part 1: Tropicality: Fred D’Aguiar’s Poetry  Introduction to Part 1  1 Tropical (Re)Visions (of Mythology)  2 (An)amnesic Waters  3 3Chronot(r)opes  Partial Conclusion: Resisting Entropy  Part 2: Orphanhood: Fred D’Aguiar’s Novels  Introduction to Part 2  4 Literate Slaves  5 Orphic Orphans  General Conclusion: Vatic Environmentalism and the Politics of Tropicality  Bibliography  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210769064279,"sku":"9789004391642","price":115.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/fred-daguiar-and-caribbean-literature-metaphor-myth-memory-9789004391642","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
