As a fan of Caribbean literature who has spent quite a lot of his life reading and thinking about it, it seemed appropriate to finally do one of those “hey, these are the books you should read” lists. And so, I sat down to think about the works I think everyone should read (at least once) from the Caribbean, both in fiction and non-fiction. The list below reflects a combination of my personal interests in Caribbean literature and my academic research in postcolonialism, the Caribbean, and transnational American literature (though not my other academic interests beyond science fiction). This list will, by the limitations of numbers, be incomplete. It will reflect the reading experience of one person. There are hundreds and hundreds of other works of Caribbean literature and criticism and numerous islands not represented here (a list of 10 cannot possibly get them all). Heck, that’s why I included “alternatives” here because there were people left off a list of 10 and it made me sad. Treat this list as a fun starting point of important works. If you’re not familiar with the literature of the reason, this list might help get you started. If you are, maybe it will fill some gaps! And for those who have read all of these, consider leaving a comment letting me know about other works you think folks should read at least once! Here goes:
A brand new episode of JFM just dropped. I’m joined by the delightful Andy of the Geek Salad podcast to talk about Batman Returns (1992). Is it the best Batman movie? Why does the movie still hold up? You’ll have to listen to find out! You can find the episode on Acast, iTunes, Spotify, and wherever else you get your podcasts.

Heyo, folks. I’ve not been updating much on the blog. Hence the new posts today! For those that don’t know, I’ve started a newsletter (title in the, uh, title). It features a collection of interesting links, reading lists, books to check out, articles and other writing projects, interviews, and more! You can subscribe to the newsletter at GetRevue or here! Also: a brand new issue just dropped (#8, y’all)! Coming soon: an interview with the lovely Adri Joy! Thanks for hanging about. Have a good’un!
Hiyo, blog follower ninjas! In case you didn’t know, I’ve been releasing a mostly-weekly new podcast as part of the Joy Factory project called The Joy Factory Monthly. You can find the show on almost every podcatcher (iTunes, etc.), stream the episodes right here on my website, and find episodes on Acast! If you don’t know what the show is about, here’s the simple pitch: each episode, I’ll talk about a joyful topic with a guest (or just you, the audience). The topics will be geeky and run the gamut from specific films or books to video games and culture to fascinating science and *joyful* news. Basically, it’s intended as a fix for joyful geeky content and represents my desperate attempt to not feel like the entire world is burning to the ground and we’re all doomed! If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, give the show a listen, subscribe on your favorite podcatcher, and give the show a five star review on iTunes! Oh, and a brand new episode just dropped! It features a conversation with Iori Kusano about the joy of video games, from the escape they offer to the NPCs and games living rent free in our heads, and much more! Check it out below!
