Iron Balloons: Fiction from Jamaica's Calabash Writer's Workshop
Colin Channer is a Jamaican writer, often referred to as "Bob  Marley with a pen," due to the spiritual, sensual, social  themes presented from a literary Jamaican perspective.  Indeed, his first two full length novels, Waiting in Vain and  Satisfy My Soul, bear the titles of well known Marley songs.  He has also written the short story collection Passing  Through, and the novellas I'm Still Waiting" and "The Girl  with the Golden Shoes." Some of his short stories have  been anthologized.
