Trade Review"The short story in general and the postcolonial story in particular deserve this kind of attention." Charles E. May, California State University at Long Beach "A refreshing emphasis on close reading and attentiveness to language, tone, imagery, metaphor, and metonymy make this a most welcome collection" John Clement Ball, University of New Brunswick
