HOROSCOPES
ARIES You’re gathering
strength. Don’t worry about
whether you’ll use it wisely.
Get a clear picture in your
mind of what you want to
make happen. Then, just do it.
TAURUS It’s getting to be time
to prepare for your next big
project. You may not even
know what it is. Just finish up
whatever you already have
going. That’s a great start..
GEMINI You’ll need to hit the
ground running tomorrow, so
give it a little thought. What do
you want to accomplish? You
and your team will have about
48 hours.
CANCER Don’t.share your
opinions now unless
specifically asked. You’ll
achieve the greatest rewards
by doing as you’re told and
following the directions.
LEO This is the moment of
hesitation before you take the
plunge. Tomorrow and the
next day, it’s full speed ahead.
Better repack your parachute
in preparation.
VIRGO The old routine has
been somewhat modified. It’s
good to update, but it does take
an adjustment. Allow extra
time.
LIBRA You may be in that
awkward phase where your
idea hasn’t quite come
together. Ignore criticism.
Accept coaching from one you
respect.
SCORPIO You should be
rejuvenated by now and ready
to get back to work. That’s
good, because there won’t be
time for much else tomorrow
and the next day. Get ready.
SAGITTARIUS Maybe it’s time
to stop putting up with an
ongoing irritant. If it doesn’t
work, fix it. The annoyance is
slowing you down.
CAPRICORN Everything’s
always changing, yet
everything stays the same.
Things may be stirred up right
now, but more truths will be
revealed.
AQUARIUS There’s certainly
enough confusion to make
things very interesting. You’re
getting smarter, and new
revelations will help you
achieve your goals.
PISCES You’re about to come
up with a profitable idea.
Trouble is, you don't know
which one will bring in the big
bucks. Better write them all
down!

doesn’t know much else.
Regardless of the Faulkner-es
que complexity here, you can’t
turn your nose up at descriptions
such as: “This room is lined with
newspapers. They make the place
photo special to the gamecock
' bsjwes is a USC professor,
IK. at and fiction writer.
look like a gift cheaply and hastily
wrapped on the inside.”
In other spots, the prose be
comes almost primeval, resort
ing to lines such as “Joseph is
hungry” or “Joseph is angry.”
Dawes does a great job of mim
icking the mental state of his
characters.
Dawes demonstrates tremen
dous strength in his decision to
plunge into the eroticism and the
gruesome, gritty nature of
Jamaican culture. He doesn’t
mind telling us about the stretch
marks on Sarah’s body when she
showers or how good it feels to lie
in bed with someone.
When murder occurs in his fic
tion, Dawes doesn’t shy away
from detailed descriptions of the
corpse. In fact, many of the stories
aim at demonstrating the
hypocrisy and cruelty inherent in
human nature.
Dawes manages to cover the ail
ments of Jamaican society in 300
pages, not sparing the misogyny,
prejudice, violence and instabili
ty of individuals.
Consider “In the Gully,” in
which Felix rapes and murders a
young girl and gets away with it
because his father knows how to
bully Felix’s schoolmate — the
only witness.
But the book also celebrates
Jamaican culture, especially reg
gae, with the Vershan chapters
that are spaced evenly through
out — evocative of the black and
white jungle and cabaret paint
ings by Aaron Douglas. These sec
tions are festivals of light and
sound.
Dawes is also the author of
nearly a dozen collections of poet
ry and three nonfiction books, in
cluding a book on the lyrics of Bob
Marley.
While Dawes is primarily a
poet, his fiction gives us a taste of
what this talent could do if he ever
decided to produce a longer work
of fiction.
Considering the nature of his
life’s work, it will most likely in
volve reggae, marijuana and great
language.
