Among the Bloodpeople: Politics and Flesh por Thomas Glave

Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.

I got this through the Early Reader program. The writing is beautiful, and coveys the overt horrors of homosexual repression in Jamaica, as well as the insidious and subtle workings of the culture that keep that repression going. The culture he describes is in many ways alien to me, but his prose is clear and makes his experience accessible and his insights useful. He also has useful things to say about the interactions of Jamaican academic culture with other academics in the world. Worth checking out.… (más)

Among the Bloodpeople: Politics and Flesh por Thomas Glave

Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.

I received this book as an early reader. It was disturbing, moving, and thought-provoking. I found myself in tears during some of the authors descriptions of cruelty, and I found myself laughing and smiling during his depictions of victories and amusing family moments.

I would highly recommend this book to those who enjoy short stories that force them to focus on harsh realities and turbulent social issues. It is well-written, and you get caught up in each and every piece.

Among the Bloodpeople: Politics and Flesh por Thomas Glave

Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.

I was lucky enough to receive Among the Bloodpeople: Politics and Flesh as an earlier reader copy, and I'm VERY happy I had chance to read it. This is a book I will definitely be keeping on my shelf and re-reading.

The essays in here were extremely well crafted, and a lot of human rights issues were touched upon. The author really had a distinctive voice that griped my attention immediately. The standout pieces in this selection for me were The Letter to The Prime Minister and Interview With the Not-Poem.

Great voice, interesting writing style, and book that really left you thinking long after finishing it.

Definitely a 4.5 stars out of 5 for me!… (más)
