So Many Islands: Stories from the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Indian, and Pacific Oceans by Nailah Folami Imoja, Nicholas Laughlin
(Various)
A fine anthology- somewhat uneven in quality. I was hoping for more of a showcase but the main theme of this selection was very centered on island identity and belonging or the feeling of not-belonging. All of which are fine to explore, although one of the pitfalls of being a writer from a small island seems to be a kind of pigeon-holing, an expectation that THIS is the most worthwhile thing for you to be writing about.
