Synopsis "J, Black bam and the Masqueraders (Caribbean Modern Classics)"
This is the final installment in a quartet of novels that explores the lives of the small St Lucian middle class in the years around independence. Peter, after years abroad, has resumed his marriage with his long abandoned wife Phyllis, and is now working as a lecturer in Jamaica. His brother Paul remains in St Lucia, disgraced and sacked from professional employment by his refusal to marry his pregnant girlfriend. He has acquired a reputation for madness, though whether this is a contrived mask or an actual breakdown is left uncertain. J, Black Bam and the Masqueraders intercuts Pauls confessional letters to Peter with the narrative of Peters marital relationship with Phyllis, his affairs and descent into despair, drunkenness and domestic violence. St Omer offers a bracingly bleak portrayal of a middle class beset with hypocrisies over race, sexism and class privilege.
