Features a reading and discussion Return to Arcadia is an accomplished, moving novel about a very modern predicament: dysfunctional identity in the global village. When Joshua Éclair emerges from amnesia in a psychiatric hospital in Montreal, he is forced to relive his past in the Caribbean. What emerges from his trauma and precarious healing is the gripping story of a man's search for sanity and a place in the world. (isbn 978-1-894770-38-5; $20.95; 312 pages) "In lean, precise prose, Return to Arcadia journeys through the unspeakable and tabooed in the contemporary Caribbean, reminding us that the brutalities of slavery and colonialism continue to raise hell and fierce memory in the more secret realms of flesh and desire." – Thomas Glave, State University of New York “Thomas balances admirably the functions of the storyteller and the social-realist observer of human behaviour.” — World Literature Today H Nigel Thomas was born in St Vincent. A teacher in Montreal and a professor at Université Laval, he is the author of: Spirits in the Dark (finalist for the QWF Prize), Behind the Face of Winter, Moving Through Darkness, and Why We Write: Conversations with African Canadian Poets and Novelists.
