Written in his now recognizable (recognizable to me anyway) terse manner, Deryck Bernard says:
"The themes of hypocrisy, racism, gender relations, the role of the mistress (which is also implicit in Sonny Coming and Choker), the anomie of colonial society before independence, and the search for iconic figures are fairly identified in the stories. I think the issues are still unresolved though a generation has passed and am content to leave them as such, much to Al Creighton's dismay. My next book will only make things worse."
Unresolved issues or not, I certainly look forward to his next book.
Thank you Mr. Bernard.
