Résumé
This is the second book in Austin Clarke's groundbreaking Toronto Trilogy about the lives of black people in Canada. In Storm of Fortune, Clarke brings us into a circle of West Indian domestics-their friends, lovers, spouses, and employers-living in Toronto in the late 1950s. In lush, invigorating prose, Clarke illuminates the world of Bernice Leach-a world inhabited by earthy, garrulous, but terribly isolated people, all living, working, and struggling within an alien, white, Canadian culture.
He brilliantly articulates the unsettled attitudes of his characters towards themselves, their community, and their fellow immigrants, exploring questions of status and social mobility. In turn, he unites these themes into a devastating commentary on the quest for success in North America. Dominated by warm, superbly drawn characters and pulsing with the nation language of Clarke's characters' speech, Storm of Fortune is a window into one of the most dynamic periods of Canadian history-one that has brought so much to bear on our present.
