Alecia McKenzie is one of Jamaica's most exciting new authors. She belongs to that exceptional group of women short story writers who have emerged from the country in the last few years. Satellite City is her first collection of short stories.
Representing a new generation of writers, she moves away from Jamaica's colonial times: in themes of conflict between generations; sexual politics and gender expectations; class, wealth and poverty; language, politics and power; 'madness', art and racial tensions. At the same time she is capable of exploring Caribbean history through relationships and highlighting the hypocrisies and evasions of Jamaican contemporary society.
Accessible, relevant and artful, however painfully true, the collection is a constant source of pleasure.
