From the Paper:

""Miguel Street" is more than just a story about the poor people of Trinidad. It is a story of hope, despair, poverty, and laughter, and one that I enjoyed reading very much. It is the story of distinct individuals who live in destitution, but still have hope for the future. It celebrates the uniqueness of people, along with their daily courage and stubbornness. The narrator escapes from the neighborhood, but as the story reveals, he can never escape his background, and his love for the people of Miguel Street."
