The first novel from a major new talent in Anglo-Caribbean writing set in & around the cane fields of Grenada. Pynter Bender is a child of the cane fields of Grenada, the second smallest independent state in the world. This is Jacob Ross`s extraordinary debut novel of a boy born blind but whose eyes are healed, allowing him to see great beauty. The story charts the painful awakening of a rural population, essentially organised around serfdom, into a raw & uncertain future that can only be achieved through fighting
- a civil war that Pynter is drawn in to. Pynter`s father leaves him to be brought up by the Bender women, a close-knit group of aunts & cousins, & Pynter`s early life is shaped by these women. He begins to understand a world beyond them when his uncle, Birdie the Beloved, the best baker on the isl&, occasionally returns to the family on his brief periods out of jail. When Pynter comes to love a woman, & later flees his family to hide in the canes from the marauding soldiers, he can no longer ignore the violent world beyond the yard where he lives.` Pynter Bender` is about the conflict between the world of men & women, men who walk away from their families & from the cane fields & their women who forbear. It brilliantly describes the birth of a modern West Indian island & the shaping of its people as they struggle to shuck off the systems that have essentially kept them in slavery for centuries.

” Ambitiously designed community buildings, faceless mass housing developments, & a monumental emptiness are the defining features of Pyongyang
- a city of three million inhabitants rising from rubble after the Korean War of the 1950s. This guide offers unprecedented insights into the capital of what is probably the most isolated country in the world, ruled in the third generation by a `first family` stubbornly upholding its own brand of stone-age communism.”

Guy Delisle’s “ Pyongyang – A Journey in North Korea”, continues in the great tradition of non-fiction comic books looking at difficult subjects in difficult parts of the world, like Joe Sacco’s & Marjane Strapi’s work. Famously referred to as an ‘ Axis-of-Evil’ country, North Korea remains one of the most secretive & mysterious nations in the world today. A series of manmade & natural catastrophes have also left it one of the poorest. When the fortress-like country recently opened the door a crack to foreign investment, cartoonist Guy Delisle found himself in its capital Pyongyang on a work visa for a French film animation company, becoming one of the few Westerners to witness current conditions in the city. Armed with a smuggled radio & a copy of 1984, Delisle could only explore Pyongyang & its countryside while chaperoned by his translator & a guide. But among the statues, portraits & propaganda of leaders Kim Il-Sung & his son Kim Jong-Il – the world’s only Communist dynasty – Delisle was able to observe more than was intended of the culture & lives of the few North Koreans he encountered. His astute & wry musings on life in the austere & grim regime form the basis of this remarkable graphic novel. “ Pyongyang…” is an informative, personal & accessible look at an enigmatic country. ...
