Inspired by the author's Jamaican homeland, inflected with rhythms and textures of an amalgam of languages, it is a dazzling, major work of fiction, in conversation with the likes of Gabriel García Márquez, Toni Morrison, and Arundhati Roy. Popisho is a masterful delight: a playful love story, a portrait of community, a boldly sensual meditation on desire and addiction, and a critique of the legacies of corruption and colonialism. Before it comes, before the end of the day, this wildly imaginative narrative will take us across the islands, their history, and into the lives of unforgettable characters. At the heart of the story is the troubled Xavier. And graffiti messages from an unknown source are asking hard questions. But Popisho, the fictional island namesake of her third novel, is formed as much from fearless imagination as real-world Caribbean geography. The governor’s daughter, Sonteine, is getting married, her father demanding a feast out of turn. Anise, his long lost love, is on a march toward reckoning with her healing powers. Xavier Redchoose is the macaenus of his generation, anointed by the gods to make each resident one perfect meal when the time is right. A place of stunning beauty and incorrigible mischief, destiny and mystery, it is also a place in need of change. Somewhere far away-or maybe right nearby-lies an archipelago called Popisho.
