biographical,contemporary,fiction,genre fiction,literary,literature and fiction,world literature, Born in London, but raised in a flyspeck village in Guyana, Oonya Kempadoo has now preserved her youth in exquisite amber. Buxton Spice will no doubt be compared to the work of Jamaica Kincaid, and the analogy is actually an instructive one (beyond the fact that both authors are Caribbean women). Kempadoo too has found her own idiom for rendering the magical or mundane perceptions of childhood. Even so pedestrian an activity as rollerskating seems to be taking place for the first time: We tottered on to the road and set off. My legs felt like matchsticks with huge weights on the ends. Looked ridiculous, but was rollerskates and we had them first. The sound of hard plastic on the gritty asphalt cleared the cool night air for us to come sailing through. Up and down the road. Past the fellars watching. The passage above, with its low-key lyricism and artful omission, is fairly typical of Kempadoo's narrator, Lula. The presence of the fellars is typical, too. For Buxton Spice is very much a narrative of sexual awakening--its plot can almost be summarized in a single word, puberty. Lula gets a nominal course in sex ed by observing the three whores in her tiny village of Tamarind Grove. But at one point, she and three girlfriends pair off into husband-and-wife teams and play house--with sufficient realism to include a boudoir interlude. Their imaginary lovemaking, which features a battery as a kind of low-tech dildo, is a tour de for.

Buxton Spice, Told in the voice of a girl as she moves from childhood into adolescence, Buxton Spice is the story the town of Tamarind Grove: its eccentric families, its sweeping joys, and its sudden tragedies. The novel brings to life 1970s Guyana-a world at a cultural and political crossroads-and perfectly captures a child´s keen observations, sense of wonder, and the growing complexity of consciousness that marks the passage from innocence to experience. ´A superb, and superbly written, novel of childhood and childhood´s end . . . Kempadoo writes in a rich Creole, filling her story with kaleidoscopic images of Guyana´s coastal plains . . . Her story is also one of sexual awakening, and she explores these new feelings with a curiosity and freedom that are refreshing . . . Kempadoo´s novel, like the Buxton Spice mango tree, reveals its secrets, private and political, only sparingly until the bitter end.´ -Patrick Markee, New York Times Book Review ´Oonya Kempadoo . . . has written a sexy, stirring, richly poetic semi-autobiographical first novel.´ -Gabriella Stern, Wall Street Journal ´As juicy and ripe as the fruits drooping from the Buxton Spice mango tree . . . Kempadoo´s Caribbean argot is precise and fluid, enriching this debut with bawdiness, violence, and raucous humor.´ -Los Angeles Times ´There is a salt freshness to Kempadoo´s writing, an immediacy which makes the reader catch breath for pleasure at the recognition of something exactly observed . . . She is a writer to watch and to enjoy, for her warmth, her fine intelligence and her striking use of language.´ -Paula Burnett, The Independent (London)* Oonya Kempadoo, author of Tide Running, was born in Sussex, England of Guyanese parents and was raised in Guyana from the age of four. She studied art in Amsterdam and has lived in Trinidad, St. Lucia, Tobago, and now Grenada. She was named a Great Talent for the Twenty-First Century by the Orange Prize judges and is a winner of the Casa de las Americas Prize. Taschenbuch, 01.06.2004.

Not since Jamaica Kincaid burst onto the scene with her classic novel Annie John has so original and gifted an author given voice to a young girl's coming of age experience in the Caribbean. Oonya Kempadoo's Buxton Spice is a breath-taking glimpse into the inner life of Lula, who is growing up in a racially mixed family in a predominantly black village in Guyana in the 1970s. While Tamarind Grove is a magical place filled with vibrant characters like Aunt Ruth, the obeah voodoo lady; and a trio of prostitutes known as Bullet, Sugar Baby, and Rumshop Cockroach, a shadow falls over this Eden in which Lula playfully and candidly explores her awakening sexuality. The repressive regime of Guyana's dictator extends its poisonous tendrils into every area of life in Tamarind Grove, just like the branches of the Buxton Spice tree under whose umbrella the village's tensions fester.
