Recenzje

Praise for Dionne Brand

"Passionate in its attention to emotional nuance and visual detail, In Another Place, Not Here weds beauty and fierce intelligence." -The New York Times Book Review

"Remarkable...Dionne Brand's debut novel reads with the urgent intensity of a wail that continues to echo." -The Washington Post Book World

"A work of artistic boldness in both form and content...This is a must-read book." -Ms.

"The remarkable poet Dionne Brand now gives us a fierce, sensuous novel of women in migration-political and emotional. Concrete and visionary as a dream, relentless as the history it reveals, In Another Place, Not Here is a work of great beauty and moral imagination." -Adrienne Rich

"[Dionne Brand] creates a new language that fuses modernist tricks and tics (echoes of Faulkner and Woolf accumulate as the book progresses) with the suggestive speech of unlettered rural Trinidadians...Spectacular." -The Women's Review of Books

"Brand has two gifts that are incendiary in combination: a concise and intelligent grasp of the subtleties of emotion and an apparently effortless ability to capture the flicker of experience... A stunning book." -Editor's Choice, Globe & Mail (Toronto)

"A beauty that must be read to be believed...Brand combines folklore with poetry in a manner which recalls Michael Ondaatje. This book is one of the classics of our culture." -George Elliott Clarke, The Chronicle-Herald (Halifax)

"Always turbulent, always golden and daring, with a strong touch of the poetic . . . that Dionne Brand manages to pull all this off makes her one of the best practitioners of contemporary fiction that I have read in the last ten years." -Austin Clarke, The Toronto Star
