THE DO COUNTRY
Mario SERVIABLE
LAUGH IT OFF.
It's faraway-and-long-ago tale set in the Indian ocean. The happy world of Mauritius in the 1950s is long dead as the dodo. With it are buried your better years. Those are what are brought back with this review. Real people mingle with true-to-life archetypal creatures in imaginative empathy. You must have come across them ; you"ve been confronted with local malice and rural restlessness in playful propinquity? Or you should have.
Chapter captions are musical cues to old-time universal ever-greens. It's all there, in neat easy-to-follow plots. That's half of the job !
Happy memories, dead love and dead loved ones may spring back to laughing life only if you wish it. How ? Open this book and just keep on reading that's the second half of the job, and reading can be fun.

THE ADVENTURES OF CAF FRANCISCO
Mario SERVIABLE
LAUGHTER LITERATURE
Reunion Island in the 1930s !
Caf Francisco, forever black, young and smart, survives against all odds as a city slicker in petty thievery ans misconstrued malignity. But his ever elusive dream is to win over Little Miss Nenette, a carroty minute maid, estranged from her poor white background in the rural outback. Here, for centuries, people of all colors, creeds and cultures have lived together on the verge of lulling lagoons and shared alike tempests and misfortune.
Urchin heroes, filthy-mouthed and bad-mannered, confronted with racial issues, have entered literature. With Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain invented method, form and tone ; but Caf Francisco brings the Black and White show to gendered shores, with just a zest of parochial sex. No offence meant if we can laugh it off.
Power to laughter !
