Mendes was a member of the Beacon group of writers in Trinidad in the 1930s and friend and colleague of C.L.R. James and Ralph de Boissiere. He was a prolific writer, with a distinctive and engaging voice, and he wrote a significant number of short stories, many of which have never been published and most of which were written between 1920 and 1940. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"The Man Who Ran Away\"\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of twelve stories with an introduction and short glossary of Trinidadian Creole words and phrases.
