All Decent Animals
Oonya Kempadoo
Oonya Kempadoo?s moving third novel, All Decent Animals, looks at the personal and aesthetic choices of a multifaceted cast of characters on the Caribbean island of Trinidad?a country still developing economically but rich culturally, aiming at ?world-class? status amid its poor island cousins. It is a novel about relationships, examined through the distinct rhythms of the city of Port of Spain.
Loyalties, love, conflicting cultures, and creativity come into play as Ata, a young woman working in carnival design but curious about writing, and her European boyfriend, Pierre, negotiate the care of their friend Fraser, a closeted gay man dying from AIDS. The contradictory Trinidadian setting becomes a parallel character to Fraser?s Cambridge-derived artistic sensibility and an antagonist to Ata?s creative journey.
All Decent Animals is a forthright inquiry into the complexity of character, social issues, and island society, with all the island?s humor, mysticism, and tragedy.
