  Windward Heights

  by Richard Philcox, Maryse Condé

  Prizewinning writer Maryse Cond reimagines Emily Bront's passionate novel as a tale of obsessive love between the "African" Rayz and Cathy, the mulatto daughter of the man who takes Rayz in and raises him, but whose treatment goads him into rebellious flight. Retaining the emotional power of the original, Cond shows us Caribbean society in the wake of emancipation.

Take a look through God’s telescope and see how it all really happened: What was it like to be in Joseph’s sandals as his... (more)

  Canongate Myth

  The Penelopiad

  The Myth of Penelope and Odysseus

  by Margaret Atwood

  "Homer’s Odyssey is not the only version of the story. Mythic material was originally oral, and also local -- a myth would be told one way in one place and quite differently in another. I have drawn on material other than the Odyssey , especially for the details of Penelope’s parentage, her early life and marriage, and the scandalous rumors circulating about her. I’ve chosen to give the telling of the story to... (more)
