Anthony Winkler took the colonization of the Caribbean and told a story that is freshly horrific and personal. There are no good people in this story, only naive people, cunning people, foolish people, selfish people, and people in denial. When a crowd of such humans gets together, with a language barrier thrown into the mix, the results are tragic and real. There is nothing god-like about Carlos a 16th Century Spanish sailor who, along with the crewmembers of the Santa Inez, makes landfall in the West Indies. There he makes contact with the timid, Arawak people who, despite appearance, accept the sailors as gods. Jamaican author Winkler, has created a satiric novel that is both comic and tragic.
