Last Page An occasional reading list: Bapsi Sidhwa, Cracking India (Milkweed, $13.00): a reprint of Ice-Candy-Man, a novel about Partition, by one of Pakistan's leading women writers, now resident in Texas; it tells its readers it is told from a young girl's perspective, but reconciling speech with the claim to be realistic is a recurrent problem, for it clearly uses an adult vocabulary. Doris Lessing, The Real Thing (HarperCollins, $28.95): a collection of stories and sketches focussing on women who cope with "the real" world of ego and resentment; one story ends: "He was waiting to see if she would turn and wave or smile or even just look at him, but she did not." Beverley Farmer, The Seal Woman (U Queensland, $29.95): a novel in which a woman leaves Scandinavia for Australia, mourning her dead husband; emotions become images here, yet the prose seems recurrently to take more interest in explaining and defining what people are to feel. Yvonne Vera, Why Don't You Carve Other Animals (TSAR, $11.95): fifteen short stories by a Zimbabwe-born writer now studying in Canada; these show an early talent, better in the sketch form (the less explained, the less overly dramatized) than in the first attempts at extended fiction. Beryl Fletcher, The Word Burners (Daphne Brasell, n.p.): in New Zealand, a woman and her two daughters must, separately and together, come to terms with who they are—and where; a lesbian woman dismissing men at one point also dismisses the whole tenor of NZ academic discourse: "It's a Pakeha disease, this need for security, the delineation of the colonial identity...." Earl McKenzie, Two Roads to Mount Joyful and other stories (Longman, n.p.): short stories, many of them overexplained. Lorna Goodison, Baby Mother and the King of Swords (Longman, n.p.): fourteen stories about critical moments in life, by one of the leading younger poets in Jamaica; one story ends, "Some people say I know things. I know one thing. I come through." It's politically significant, perhaps, that the stories assert (rather than reveal) survival power; the writer's poems, so far, tend rather to reveal it. Olive Senior, Arrival of the Snake-Woman and other stories (Longman, n.p.): this collection is one of the author's finest so far; in it a loving re-creation of time past establishes for the narrator a sense both of the craziness and of the power of reiterating childhood, through its games, its rituals, its imprinted associations; the generation that remembers in this way, however, is also expressing its unhappiness and its uncertainty as it moves towards a category that other people call "old age." Sam Selvon, Foreday Morning: Selected Prose 1946-1986 (Longman, n.p.): the author, now a Canadian citizen, assembles here much of the fiction and some of the essays that have never before been collected; a lot of the early work was published in his native Trinidad under pseudonyms. Of particular interest are stories such as "Calypsonian" and the extended autobiographical writings. Alecia McKenzie, Satellite City and other stories (Longman, n.p.): this is a fine book by a wonderful new writer from Jamaica; the stories do not on the surface probe "grand" themes, but they discover importance in small ones: people ride buses, give parties, a woman gets a scholarship, another woman exchanges letters with her grandmother—each of these apparently ordinary incidents gives rise to extraordinary revelations about gender, poverty, class, language, and madness. Stylistically, these stories are polished and inventive. I look forward to reading more of McKenzie's work. W.N. 173
