A House for Mr. BiswasNaipaul, V.S.
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"[C]haotically structured yet frequently entertaining....It's a mess..., but Grandmother's sensual energies and fluent loquacity make this Antoni's most accessible and enjoyable fiction nevertheless."
Kirkus, 02/15/2001
Review:"Antoni's island dialect begs to be spoken aloud, and one sometimes has the delightful sense of reading a distinctively adult Dr. Seuss -- "nobody had never given her no flowers before, not even the blossoms of a stinking-toe bush." But the narrator's voice can grow wearying; its rich patois and relentlessly earthy humor make one yearn occasionally for the acidic bite of real life or even tragedy. Despite their title, MY GRANDMOTHER'S EROTIC FOLKTALES are less silkily erotic than belly-laugh ribald, often scatological, with humor reminiscent of a Farrelly Brothers movie (and not quotable here)."
