So I was reading the Caribbean Camera (for those that don't know, it is a community newspaper in Toronto) and I come across this article.
Crowd shows up to maco Macoomeh's bookShe's known in community circles as the "Queen of Maco" the latter word meaning someone who minds other people's business. So it was no surprise when a rather sizeable crowd showed up to "maco" what Queen Macoomeh had to offer -- her brand new book, Tales From Icebox Land -- at the offical launch at A Different Booklist on Friday. The book, with 33 of its 35 stories written in dialect, deals with life in Canada -- a.k.a. Icebox Land -- and according to at least one reviewer, The Camera's Colin Richards, who introduced the author at the launching, "it contains much good sense, humour, 'values' and commentary. Diamonds are to be found in the bed of this river. The satire -- biting, but never vicious -- can strip varnish off doors." What else can we expect from Queen Macoomeh?
