Greetings fellow Caribbeanists:
I am hunting for new "good" fiction by women from the Caribbean for my 
Caribbean women writers course, short stories or novels, stuff beyond 
the usual 
suspects. I am currently perusing "The true history of paradise" 
and finding 
it a 
slow go, as it were. Has anyone had success teaching Rosa Guy's recent 
stuff? 
or Nalo Hopkinson's "Midnight Robber?" (When I taught her first novel 
last 
year, my students were, to put it mildly, phreaked out!!) Any suggestions 

would 
be most welcome.
