Pell-Mell

Afro-Caribbean Virgin Islander Gilbert Sprauve continues where he left off in his previous collection, Soundings over Cultural Shoals. Sprauve holds the magnifying glass that peers into a fascinating local culture and offers reflections about a world in and about the Virgin Islands, where a crane dozes in pain, a handy popgun saves a groom-son, and serial eulogies crack frail ribs. Pell-Mell … So We Live! offers a memorable look into the variations of life—from the heart, mind, and soul of a beautiful people—the Virgin Islanders.

Angling for SEA TALES over A HAUNTED WRECK

In the past, the captain had provided critical guidance to safe haven to a certain party boat named Dixie Island Girl when this vessel got lost on its first trip to these waters. Adrift in the C-Kraal (Caribbean Sea), skipper and crew entertain themselves with tales (including one about a horrific incident while fishing over a haunted wreck). The main preoccupation of Skipper Ton-Ton are two vessels, namely Dixie, which on occasions has disturbed his fishing, and the Enforcers, who is known to conduct destructive searches of suspicious vessels. Many tales are told as the vessel drifts on a calm sea. Through the heavy mist, an official vessel appears and carries out a rescue.

Vagabondages Sous Le Soleil

The book is essentially a collection of vignettes, anecdotes and cultural postings, viewed and presented mostly from a Caribbean perspective. It aims to foment a measure of robust cultural dialoguing across generational and other societal fault lines in the author's homeland. It can also serve as a primer for the visitor venturing beyond the perimeter of the clichéd Caribbean guided tour.
