Review:
"[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)."
Elizabeth Hand, Washington Post Book World, 06/07/2001

My Grandmother's Erotic Folktales (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780802139009) Antoni, Robert Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Grove Press / Atlantic Monthly Press, United States, 2002. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 212 x 143 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Robert Antoni took the literary world by storm with his first novel, Divina Trace, which won the Commonwealth Writers Prize and is widely recognized as a landmark in Caribbean literature. His second novel, Blessed Is the Fruit, received extraordinary literary praise and was hailed by Robert Olen Butler as "an enduring work of art."My Grandmother's Erotic Folktales is a seductive collection of folktales retold by an exotic grandmother to her innocent young grandson. Set amid the lush landscape of the island of Corpus Christi during World War II, these erotic tales were originally meant to keep the U.S. servicemen who were stationed on the island out of the brothels -- and out of trouble. Now, in her ninety-seventh year, the widow tells these stories as a tapestry of interlocking and exaggerated memories -- all the more colorful for the retelling.
