Description
Joseph is a reggae superstar, admired by his musical peers and adored by women wherever he goes. But, Joseph is also a devout, herb-smoking Rastafarian who dreams of a new life in Ethiopia. Sister Ashanti chronicles Joseph's rise to international stardom, his stormy relationship with the beautiful and passionate Zuleika, his uneasy truce with the press and in particular the intrusive American journalist Sam Bergman. But, for all his peaceable Rasta way of life, in certain quarters Joseph is seen as a threat. The concert that is to seal the peace, ending gang warfare in Kingston, instead ends in the terrible moment when Joseph is shot in the back on stage.""The Macmillan Caribbean Writers"" series (MCW) offers a range of writing, not only in novels, novellas and short stories but also in non-fiction adventures, plays for festivals and poetry. Importantly, it provides a forum for new literary talent - introducing the work of the next generation of Caribbean writers as well as classic favourites and new work by more established authors. Macmillan commissions Caribbean artists to produce the front cover illustrations, which give the series a distinctive and dynamic.

Description
'The annotation is consistently thoughtful and well judged, giving plenty of precise help with lexical and syntactical problems, and offering valuable verbal and cultural analogues from contemporary literature'No edition of these difficult and controversial poems will command agreement at all points, but this must now be the edition of first resort'Paul Hammond, Review of English Studies'sharpens our focus on the documentary record of the Sonnets, and gives the best scholarly account yet of some of its words.'Alastair Fowler, Times Literary Supplement""The new edition...edited by Katherine Duncan Jones, is the clearest, most complete and up-to-date there is. She is the first editor for general readers not to mumble when dealing with the homoerotic aspect. Under her meticulous direction, the sequence opens out like a magical garden, its beauties enhanced, its mysterious prospects illuminated.""Duncan Fallowell, The Independent'It is Duncan Jones's intention as scholar and critic to confront the issue of sexuality which Kerrigan and other editors have consistently side-stepped...Hers is an edition which uniquely makes the Sonnets issue from the body's moods as well as the mind's.' Tom Paulin, London Review of Books'This new edition, handsome, crisp in annotation, and rich in historical detail, shows that the Sonnets are effectively Shakespeare's life's work...Its most radical claim is not the familiar one that the poems are homosexual, but that Shakespeare authorised their publication.'Evening Standard
