Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>An enthralling debut collection from a singular Caribbean voice</b><br><b></b><br><b><i>For a leper, many things are impossible, and many other things are easily done. Babalao Chuck said he could fly to the other side of the island and peek at the nuns bathing. And when a man with no hands claims that he can fly, you listen. </i></b><br><b></b><br><b></b>The inhabitants of an island walk into the sea. A man passes a jail cell's window, shouldering a wooden cross. And in the international shop of coffins, a story repeats itself, pointing toward an inevitable tragedy. If the facts of these stories are sometimes fantastical, the situations they describe are complex and all too real.</p><p>Lyrical, lush, and haunting, the prose shimmers in this nuanced debut, set mostly in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Part oral history, part postcolonial narrative, <i>How to Escape from a Leper Colony </i>is ultimately a loving portrait of a wholly unique place. Like Gabriel García Márquez, Edwidge Danticat, and Maryse Condé before her, Tiphanie Yanique has crafted a book that is heartbreaking, hilarious, magical, and mesmerizing. An unforgettable collection.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"With turns to the wild, clever, and magical that seem at once fantastic and inevitable, Tiphanie Yanique has crafted a beautiful collection of short and not-so-short fiction. This is an exciting new voice." --<i>PERCIVAL EVERETT</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Tihpanie Yanique </b>is from St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. An assistant professor at Drew University, she lives in Brooklyn, New York, and St. Thomas with her partner, Moses Djeli.</p>
