If calling this deceptively light reading seems a stretch, this delightful work is none the less amusing and informative, a rare ride well worth the fare.
Writing with brilliant cadence and economy, Bergman is an impressionist who uses her brilliant palette to illuminate facets of the lives of these brave and creative lesser-known strivers.
With decisive economy and the dramatic immediacy lent by her use of the present tense, Dugan's powerful stories present a fast-paced, cohesive, and satisfying read.
Edgy, bizarre, exaggerated, this book can be exasperating yet very entertaining. Not for readers seeking sweetness and light along the lines of a Hallmark card-type read.
Zanzibar-born Gurnah (Paradise; By the Sea) offers intense, meticulously rendered portrayals of characters struggling to make something new in a new land. Particularly haunting is Abbas, the wanderer, who has lost his place in the world, if only for a while. For all readers of literary fiction.
