The Duppy
‘Winkler’s gift for storytelling, his keen ear for the Jamaican language and his unparalleled sense of humour all come through in The Duppy.’ (Barbara Nelson, Caribbean Voice) 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.Please note that this is an eBook version of this title and can NOT be printed.
