Sections of an Orange

WithÂ stories that create vividly sensual pictures of place and powerfully dramatic tension, this collection featuresÂ characters thatÂ are driven by desireÂ—for dignity and justice for a dead son, for privacy from a neighbor who collects lives, for sexual fulfillment, and for blocking the memories of a destructive past. Characters migrate between stories, just as they migrate between Trinidad and New York, sometimes at the fringe and sometimes at the center,Â but always acting as a window into the lives and minds of Trinidadians as seen through Nimblettâ€™s empathetic eyes.
