More : A Novel

More
Author(s): Austin Clarke

From Austin Clarke, the critically acclaimed author of The Polished Hoe—winner of the Giller Prize—comes More, a powerful new novel of survival in a cold and alienating world. Certain to become a classic in contemporary  world literature, More carries readers into the  lonely life of an immigrant domestic—abandoned years before by a faithless husband, her life devastated by her son’s involvement in gang culture and crime—and her remarkable journey from tragedy back to the light. An unforgettable portrait of the black immigrant experience, it is a novel to be read and remembered.

 

Review(s):
“A beautifully written exploration of cultural conflicts and one woman’s struggle to find a place for herself emotionally.”
“Clarke stays true to his politically charged style . . . An introspective examination of the cultural racism and the life of minorities, [a] detailed . . . narrative.”
“[Clarke] can be expected to bring the reader into the mind of the protagonist, and he doesn’t disappoint with his new novel. . . . This affecting novel will shatter American misconceptions about Canadian race relations. A good option for serious readers.”
“A forceful book . . . at the height of his literary power, Clarke boldly challenges”
“More may stand as one of the crowning achievements of Clarke’s career”
“[Clarke is] a magnificent story teller.”
