After One Time Cedric Dey

Cedric Dey is a retired dental surgeon living in Kamsack, Saskatchewan, after a long and variegated life. He left his homeland of British Guiana in the fifties to study at Howard University in Washington, D. C. and Meharry University in Nashville, Tennessee. Following an internship at the Toronto General Hospital and private practice in Toronto he returned to the new nation of Guyana for seven years before settling on the Canadian prairies. In After One Time a fictional narrator reflects on his friendship with three boyhood friends: from carefree beginnings in colonial British Guiana, through adventures and studies in the segregated United States, to professional careers in Canada. A sojourn in their independent homeland brings them full circle.
