Omschrijving
Extraordinary... as an evocation of family love, with all its sharpness, pain and need, Meatless Days is almost faultless
Extraordinary... as an evocation of family love, with all its sharpness, pain and need, Meatless Days is almost faultless
A jewel of insight and beauty
Some of the more heart-shaking writing about love and grief I've ever read
The author has a gift for rendering her family with a few, deft strokes, turning them out as whole and complete as eggs
Dazzling... Suleri is a postcolonial Proust
Suleri writes with a surgical intellectual frankness... and a poetic precision which crisps the reader into paying absolute attention
A tour de force of memory and interpretation...What makes Meatless Days such an astonishing book is its corrosive effect on partitions of all kinds - between body and history, politics and poetry, language and experience, the East and the West.
Nine autobiographical tales that move easily back and forth among Pakistan, Britain, and the United States. . . . She forays lightly into Pakistani history, and deeply into the history of her family and friends. . . . The Suleri women at home in Pakistan make this book sing
An incredibly smart, dryly funny and hugely moving read
A bewitching memoir of loss... remarkable
