Introduction of the Author, Kris Rampersad

at LiTTribute To the Republic with readings and performances inspired by LiTTscapes – Landscapes of Fiction from Trinidad and Tobago, at Knowsley, September 15, 2012

Good day ladies and gentlemen, and children too. I am here to tell you about my Auntie Krissy.  I call her Krissy-wissy.

Sometimes, when I want to be naughty, I call her Christopher.

My auntie reads my story books with me. Sometimes we read the dictionary too! It is so much fun. You, and you, and you should try it sometime.

My auntie took me to Port of Spain and showed me where Trini writers worked at the newspaper.

She worked there too. “For peanuts,” she said.

“Why peanuts and not for money like Dad? I asked.

“Because people think writers are monkeys,” she said.

I laughed till my belly hurt. My peanut-crunching monkey-auntie is so funny!

I went to the library in Port of Spain for the first time with auntie Krissy wissy.

She tried to join me in the library so I could get books with a card.

Can you imagine the librarian asked ME for a utility bill?

I wondered what was wrong with her.
