Recollections of An Island man is a book with Grenada as its focal point but it is also a book about the human experience seen through my eyes. The stories dwell on happenings and my experiences that mainly occurred during the 1960’s and 1970’s. It is a book that is intended to grasp the attention of those who believe that the human story is basically the same all over the world. Somewhere in a distant land, a fisherman will undergo the blazing heat of the sun that Mr. Cliff in the book experienced. Someone will sing a hymn for the dead and indeed there are those who will always curse the politicians. And all over the world there are those who would find comfort in the bottle just as readily as the rum drinkers of Grenada. People will continue to yearn for the Christmas or holidays they knew as little children and yes, many would find enjoyment in a little exaggeration, nonsense and humor. Recollections of An Island Man provides all of that and more. For those who are interested in Grenada and indeed the Caribbean, this is my effort to help rekindle and relive aspects of a cherished past.
