Anthony C. Winkler Book Signing - "The Duppy" March 13, 2008

Jamaican-born author Anthony C. Winkler, who now lives in Atlanta, returns to Wordsmiths Books to read from and sign his new novel, The Duppy. Baps, a Jamaican shopkeeper, drops dead unexpectedly one Saturday morning and finds himself being transported to heaven via a crowded minibus. Everything about Paradise that he had been raised to expect and believe, he finds to be utterly and completely wrong. For one thing, Paradise suspiciously resembles Jamaica. Baps has much to learn: about the afterlife, about God, about the distortions of established religion, and ultimately about humanity. With his characteristic outrageousness, and with more than a hint of postmodern playfulness, Winkler defies taboos and subverts conventional thinking in this entertaining, thought-provoking, and ultimately uplifting novel. Come join us as we welcome once again Anthony C. Winkler.
