Crossbones

Writer, painter, sculptor and baker, Willi Chen is a multi-faceted Trinidadian of Chinese origin. His stories - collected here - are filled with the surprise, tension, fear, farce and comedy faced by his characters, all of whom are in a state of being or becoming Trinidadian. Chen's style reflects the magical realism and exuberance of the language of the Caribbean and his characters are alive and memorable and record the very essence of life in Trinidad and Tobago.
