Non-History: Albert's descent through the eyes of history and despair
Volume 1 of a 5 volume epic poem that traces a bi-racial Caribbean man's descent into insanity, infidelity and self-loathing, both through the conditioned stereotypic, racialist gaze of history, and his own fractured interior voice which is often, and forcefully at times, interrupted by the narrator's own taunting literary, intellectual interpretations of the unfolding drama. The result is an allusion heavy, hyper-historical, at-times pessimistic, literary offering in the tradition of great Caribbean poet Kamau Brathwaite, with flourishes of literary impenetrability throughout a la Derek Walcott
