Recenzii

Vestiges of plot -- concerning a galaxy where melanin is exchanged like an illicit drug -- are a little hard to fathom in a novel the publishers describe as psychedelic noir. They say this book blends 'the diasporic with the avant garde', which may sound scary, but the rhythmic beauty of the text still makes it an inviting read. Joseph can recite a staggering 80% of UFOs from memory, and if he happens to be performing near you, he is well worth catching live. This book could almost be a CD. Pulp Net
