Bloodlines

London: Vintage, 2001. First Edition; First Impression. Original wrappers. Light wear to covers. ; Red D'Aguiar is a British-born poet, novelist, and playwright, known for his exploration of themes such as race, history, and identity. Born in London to parents of Guyanese descent, he moved to Guyana with his family at the age of six before returning to the UK years later. D'Aguiar's writing often reflects his experiences with the African diaspora and the complexities of colonialism and post-colonial identity. His works include poetry collections like The Longest Memory (1994) , which won the Whitbread Book of the Year Award, as well as novels such as The Bloodlines (1993) , which also received critical acclaim. D'Aguiar’s ability to weave together personal and collective histories has earned him a place among notable contemporary writers, and his work continues to engage with themes of memory, heritage, and the impact of history on individual lives. Bloodlines is a long narrative poem that examines the legacies of colonialism and the complexities of racial identity. Set against the backdrop of the British Empire, the story explores the intertwined lives of a family whose ancestors were deeply impacted by slavery. The protagonist, whose family history spans multiple generations, reflects on the personal and collective trauma caused by the brutalities of colonization and slavery. Through a blend of historical and fictional accounts, Bloodlines addresses themes of memory, racial identity, and the struggle for self-understanding, offering a nuanced portrayal of how history shapes individual lives across time. The novel’s exploration of heritage and the search for meaning in a world shaped by past injustices provides a poignant commentary on the effects of history on present-day realities. ; 19.7 x 12.8 x 1.2 cms; 161 pages. Very Good+ with no dust jacket .

The Longest Memory

Vintage 1995 Paperback, 138pp. The Longest Memory tells the story of a rebellious, fiercely intelligent young slave, who in 1810 attempts to flee a Virginia plantation - and of his father who inadvertently betrays him. The young slave's love for a white girl who slakes his forbidden thirst for learning and his painful relationship with his father are hauntingly evoked in this novel of astonishing lyrical simplicity. It is a measure of D'Aguiar's achievement and bravery that The Longest Memory is informed not only by the complicities between black slave and white master but also by the tensions among slaves themselves - between stoic survivalists and passionate rebels. Remarkable for its keenness of observation, subtlety, and restraint, The Longest Memory heralds the arrival of a major new voice in the contemporary literature of the African diaspora. (ISBN: 9780099462217). Good.
