Explores questions of friendship, conflict, community, ethics, and power in humorous ways. These stories are a testament to a father's struggle to be a vivid presence in the life of his son despite separation and distance.



Edward Said called him a "centrally important twentieth-century figure," while Caryl Phillips said, "There is little doubt that James will come to be regarded as the outstanding Caribbean mind of the twentieth century." Constance Webb (1918-2005) spent many years working in the publishing industry as an editor and writer. Her correspondence with her husband, C. L. R. James, is the subject of the book Special Delivery. Anna Grimshaw, associate professor of anthropology at Emory University, was C. L. R. James's research assistant at the end of his life and edited Special Delivery and The C. L. R. James Reader.
