Read for uni, short stories surrounds the experiences of caribbean migrant workers in the building of the panama canal. the ecology of the short stories are weirdly gothic, highlighting the destruction of colonial and capitalistic conquests on the colonised subjects (environment and people). the dialect is confusing at first, as is the region - takes a while to adjust to what’s happening and as soon as you get used to it the short story is ends and the next begins !
