I Only Make Love In Montreal by Rabin Ramah
This stunning debut collection of stories draws heavily on the author's memories of growing up in Trinidad and explores themes of family, faith, race, child abuse, sexuality, and otherness.In one story, a young boy experiences his first signs of love for a man as sinful, terrifying, and evil, resulting in the end of his innocence. In another, a lonely schoolboy is whipped and shamed for soiling his pants, his only companion a cow he calls Mama.
Heartbreaking yet hopeful, funny yet wise, these stories are infused with the warmth and vibrancy of the Caribbean sun and the insight of a young man who was trying to find love amidst the violence of his childhood.
