The thesis consists of a novella and five short stories, all narrated from the perspective of a mute diasporic narrator who chronicles several returns to a nameless Caribbean village. Against a rich intertextual backdrop, these texts predominantly explore issues of mutism, the relationship between language and a sense of place, intricacies of translation, and the orality-literacy spectrum. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (MFA)--Florida Atlantic University, 2021. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
