Longlisted for the 2017 OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature, The Marvellous Equations of the Dread offers a world of magical possibility despite being set at the worst of times in recent Jamaican history. Bob Marley has just died, the Emperor Haile Selassie has been brutally murdered, the armed gangs of Kingston are at war and the murder rate soars. Packed with the stories of both the living and the dead, Marcia Douglas still manages to celebrate the endurance and wondrous creative humanity of Jamaica’s people.
