Idle Talk, Deadly Talk: The Uses of Gossip in Caribbean Literature - New World Studies
Ana Rodriguez Navas

In Idle Talk, Deadly Talk, Ana Rodriguez Navas reveals gossip to be an urgent, utilitarian, and deeply political practice - a means of staging the narrative tensions, and waging the narrative battles, that mark Caribbean politics and culture.
