Brilliant and hilarious...
Check out this book Andrade a journey back in time to Trinidad of the 50s and 60s, and meet characters so richly drawn and colorful that they practicularly jump off the page and speak to you in their native patois that you don't always fully Understand but "get"
I got it. Clarke is a genius storyteller and these tales are as precious, as beautiful as they are educational and enlightening.

Great characters. Great stories. You can actually hear the whispers and the laughter of the market people as they hey tell and retell the stories of the towns folk. "Dey some real characters, for true!"
