Summaries and Reviews
Summary
A young Jamaican travels to the city searching for wealth and fame, records a song, and--at the very moment his recording makes the charts--he becomes a hunted criminal
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Like the acclaimed film of the same title, this lyrical, lilting, densely textured novel is based on the exploits of the legendary Jamaican folk hero and reggae star Rhygin. With passion and precision, Michael Thelwell recounts Rhyginâs journey from a morally coherent rural universe to the teeming, predatory slums of Kingston, his rebellion against the poverty and corruption of postcolonial Jamaica, his blazing, simultaneous rise to the top of the charts and the Most Wanted list.
