Synopsis
The Painted Canoe is the story of a poor, ugly Jamaican fisherman who falls asleep one night on a fishing trip and wakes up to find his small craft surrounded by the empty horizon with no land in sight. What follows is a heartfelt story of his fight for survival against the sea. In this first novel by outstanding Jamaican novelist, Anthony C. Winkler, fate is pitted against fate, irrationality against rationality - all amidst hilarious displays of eccentricity - as Zachariah determinedly battles against the odds for survival.

Review
"This is one of those rare novels that announces its presence with such modest grace that the size of its ambition and accomplishments steals gently into the consciousness." --Michael Thelwell, Washington Post Book World
