The hero of Fred D'Aguiar's second novel is a young Caribbean man called Red Head whose world view has been permanently skewed, in a charming way, ever since a blow to his head when he was nine. With his mother away in England on a Government mission to subvert the postal ballots of immigrants for a forthcoming election, Red Head and his brother Bounce, a wrestler, are left in their home town of Ariel. When Bounce must face Singh, the national wrestling champion who is aligned with the political opposition, Red Head's life becomes complicated. The book ends with a series of letters written by Red Head, each beginning "Dear Future."

Good condition.
