Abstract

This dissertation explores how Chika Unigwe’s Better Never Than Late counterbalances several stereotypes on migration that are circulated by Western discourses. More precisely, it discusses how the short story collection makes use of its own fictionality to subvert and shed new light on these stereotypical representations. For this purpose, I have used Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s concept of the single story (i.e., the one-sided and oversimplified portrayal of people or places) as basis of my interpretative process. This allowed this dissertation to point out how Better Never Than Late deceptively plays into single stories on migration to complete them, complexify them, and ultimately challenge their potency.

Abstract

This paper deals with the short story genre in Caribbean/Trinidadian Literature. Il explores the main themes in Lawrence Scott's Leaving by plane swimming back underwater, as well as the recurrent writing strategies in the selected short stories: orality and narrative voice techniques. Finally, the paper addresses the possibility that translation will create an “illusion” of the source text, even though it refers to a different culture.
