ROBERT ANTONI is the author of five books: "Divina Trace," "Blessed is the Fruit," "My Grandmother's Erotic Folktales," "Carnival," and "As Flies to Whatless Boys." His fictional world is the British West Indies—the region's characters, atmosphere, history, folklore, and above all its vernacular languages; it is informed by a pan-Caribbean consciousness of race, gender, religion, and class. In this clip he reads from his novel "As Flies To Whatless Boys" and he will be appearing at the 30th annual Miami Book Fair International to discuss his work.
