Paperback. Zustand: Good. Acclaim for Mothers and Shadows In the silence after her death, her novel, full of voices as passionate as her own, is particularly precious . The end of the story is wrenching; it invades the reader's space as the confrontational Dolores has invaded the falsely secure space of Irene, making it unsafe and real. The Village VoiceA high pitch of emotional intensity is sustained throughout. Christian Science MonitorA well-paced and tense story, building up to the final climactic moment. The translation is superb. Choice Poignant and powerful. Texas ObserverIt was all so recent, it all seems so close, so recognisable, even familiar . Yet they vanished into a hell beyond the scope of normal imagination. This impressive and very readable book understates all this, making its point artistically much better than if it had been more explicit. London's Financial Times Once read, it cannot be forgotten. Everywoman Mothers and Shadows reflects the political awareness of women in Latin America and the emergence of women into the political sphere. Sojourner Revealing and heartbreaking. National Catholic ReporterWhat sets this novel apart from the familiar coterie of leftist/revolutionary tracts is the sensitivity and intellectual flexibility of its central characters. Review: Latin American Literature & ArtsA brilliant writer, gifted with a deft sense of understatement and a luminous intellect, Traba animates her characters with compassion and dignity.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The magic and malice of warring gods and men crowd this novel of Mexico's turbulent history, written by Mexico's most important modern woman writer. Rosario Castellanos' towering fictional achievement is wonderfully conveyed in Irene Nicholson's translation from the Spanish, giving the reader all the urgency of rising Indian resentment, the jealousies of childhood, the fascination of ancient myths, dzul ms and the Nine Guardians, the isolation and tension within a tiny, doomed landowning class as it fights to keep its power.Castellanos' narrator, a seven-year-old girl, watches wide-eyed as the old order -- where a few powerful landowning families and their male heirs could dominate a region politically and even sexually -- breaks down. Into her world of nursery tales, Indian magic and religious superstition come new and powerful dangers.Castellanos' art. is mesmerizing and beautiful. PUBLISHERS' WEKLY.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Njabulo Ndebele's prize-winning stories from South Africa's black townships first began appearing in the early 1980s in>Staffrider, a magazine given out to Soweto's black commuters, many of whom could not afford the fares into work in Johannesburg, and who thus had to ride staff outside or on top. In 1983 the stories of>Fools and Other Stories were collected and published, and they won the 1984 NOMA award, Africa's highest literary award. These stories have remained in print ever since, and the author has taken a leading role in developing black culture and education post-apartheid. He now heads the Nelson Mandela Foundation. Looking back around 2020 at his career, Ndebele noted the key influence of Steve Biko's writing in>Black ViewPoint>and Biko's work with the 1970s Black Consciousness Movement on the>Fools>collection (Biko was killed in police custody in 1977): . . . In Fools and Other Stories>I deliberately explored a world in South African townships without white people in it. The kind of communication Biko>envisaged ought to be normal in South Africa today. But it isn't yet where it should be. . . .This Readers International US edition marks thirty years from the first post-apartheid election in South Africa in 1994.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. This novel, a classic of African literature, still speaks to us today. We look back at Africa's grotesques like Idi Amin of Uganda, Bokassa of the Central African Empire or Zaire's Mobutu, but now we must also look around us at comic opera heads of state posturing extravagantly on our domestic stages. We need this cleansing laughter.Is the funny bone a literary erogenous zone? Anyone who thinks so will certainly be turned on by Henri Lopes' The Laughing Cry . . . this writer has the same feel for the literary burlesque that Woody Allen has for the philosophical kvetch. --San Francisco Examiner.…
