Dream On Monkey Mountain by Derek Walcott

I just finished reading Dream On Monkey Mountain And Other Plays by Derek Walcott.  I think this might be my favorite thing I've read out of all of the things I've read thus far for this blog.  The language is very abstract, native, and hard to understand.  However, you are able, at least some of the time, to get the basic meaning of each story, and there is a lyricism to the language that is inescapable.  I have been taught in the past that the language itself that Walcott uses for these plays is racist, but I disagree, and I think that the language is actually quite suitable for the characters involved.  Great, colorful cover to the edition of the book that I have, and great stories too.  Recommended!
