Anthony Winkler Collection: The Duppy by Anthony Winkler
Baps, a Jamaican shopkeeper, drops dead unexpectedly one Saturday morning and finds himself being transported to heaven via a crowded minibus. To enter heaven, he discovers that he must crawl through a culvert in a canefield. Everything about paradise that he had been raised to expect and believe, he finds to be utterly and completely wrong. Baps tells the tale of paradise that suspiciously resembles Jamaica in many ways, "The Duppy" is a fantasy that challenges every preconception about death and the afterlife.
"The Duppy is the outrageously funny and often insightful brainchild of Anthony CWinkler." Sean Roberts, The Sunday Gleaner"
