Reviving the culture of our six races in stories of the past

Apr 07, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,   
It is indeed commendable that many overseas-based Guyanese can be updated on the daily happenings in our country simply because you have made your paper available to us via your website.
Technology has certainly made it easier for your literary expertise to be shared, ardently read and enjoyed by those of us who seek regular connections with our homeland.
Being a person who is always interested in our folk tales, I spent many a night revelling in the tales our grandparents told while we spent holidays curled around their feet. Therefore it was refreshing to stumble upon your “Creative Corner”, reading the long forgotten tales.
The tales ran out however, at the point where the one story my mother never wanted me to hear on the radio was becoming an interesting mixture of what will be the present victim’s fate and who will be the curious one to next touch the accursed manuscript.
The sound of that flute was spine-chilling as a child and no doubt my mother knew the sleepless nights I would have spent obsessing over that melody of death drawing nearer and nearer, so she wisely saved me the peril. No doubt I was therefore left with a void of where the story ends.
If you can be so kind as to continue the tales and revive the culture of our six races in stories of the past, it would make for interesting reading and maybe an understanding of what we vaugely remember from our childhood holidays.
I’m looking forward to reading the continuation of Edgar Mittelholzer’s, “My Bones and My Flute” and any other tales you deem fit for publishing.
It will be understandable if there are more important stories to cover thus not enough personnel to take on additional articles for recreational reading. However these sometimes nullify the effects of the grim realities of everyday life.
Kind Regards and Thanks in advance for your consideration.
An overseas-based fan
