Industry Reviews
"Flawed or not, a terrific introduction to a world-class literary talent."
Kirkus Reviews (07/01/2002)

"Somewhere in this book a U-turn has taken place. What seemed to be a narrative tending toward radical statement, toward a critique of the violent tendencies entrenched in the culture and of the opportunities they opened up for a white state eager to exploit them for its own dying purposes, evaporates. Mda turns away from that suggestion...."
New York Review of Books - Norman Rush (01/16/2003)
