Description: "The Color of Summer is the fourth novel in a quintet he called the Pentagonia. In The Color of Summer we are transported to a carnival held in honor of the fiftieth year in power of a certain Caribbean dictator, named Fifo. The citizens have "come out" - both literally and figuratively - to celebrate, and the result is a hilarious inversion of the island's power structure and social order."--BOOK JACKET.
