The Dragon Can't Dance

-A landmark, not in the West Indian, but in the contemporary novel.- C. L. R. James

-First-class talent.- The Voice

Trinidad, 1970s. Calvary Hill - poverty stricken and rubbish-strewn --- is home to a community of people who come together during the joyful yearly town Carnival, becoming larger-than-life versions of themselves. But when it ends, and the strains of day-to-day life grow large, what happens to the peoples- hopes, and the feeling that -all o- we is one-?

With an unforgettable cast of characters, The Dragon Can-t Dance is a stunning, classic novel of the desire for identity and belonging, alongside the legacies of a colonial past.
