Anansi in the Pandemic is a commentary on the social nuances of the Covid 19 Pandemic, that only a protagonist like Anansi can adequately express. Transported to the Caribbean in stories, Anansi is a West African trickster. Symbolised by a spider, he is the god of all knowledge and stories. But how does a West African God fare in the New World? How does a West African God speak to his children's children in the dark days of the Covid 19 Pandemic.
