Tiphanie Yanique writes Caribbean fiction about family, migration, sexuality and the histories carried across generations in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Land of Love and Drowning follows two sisters and their descendants through the transfer of the islands from Danish to American rule, mixing family saga with folklore, desire and political change. Monster in the Middle moves between the family histories of a couple before they meet, showing how migration, religion and earlier relationships shape the present. How to Escape from a Leper Colony collects shorter fiction set across Caribbean and diasporic communities. Yanique's prose is lyrical, sensual and often nonlinear. Her work fits Caribbean literature, family saga and postcolonial fiction. Read more Less
