The
New Gowanus Anthology
Just
Out!
Five years ago,
the original Best of Gowanus came out to excellent reviews in Publishers
Weekly, Foreword and Midwest Book Review (see below). The new,
hardcover anthology is getting pre-press blurbs to die for:
“A stronger
collection than the first didn’t seem possible. But the new Best of Gowanus
is as fine an anthology of writing from the Third World as one could hope
for.”
–Vicente Revilla, Prof. City University of
New York
The stories,
essays and reviews in this anthology complement and reinforce one another
exceptionally well and form an integrated whole full of fact and feeling.
This is a book worth reading and worth keeping. –Kenneth
Ramchand, Professor of West Indian Literature (Emeritus), University
of the West Indies; Professor of English (Emeritus), Colgate University
Kenneth Ramchand,
the world-renowned professor of literature in the West Indies, Great Britain
and Canada,
has contributed
a preface.

Critical
response to the The Best of Gowanus:
Publishers
Weekly : "'Short stories, essays
and poetry from parts of the world where the Internet [is] not yet
so strongly
entrenched but where the human imagination most assuredly [is]..."
“Contains readings
essential for students whose class assignments lead them to authors outside
the Western world.”
-Prof. Vicente
Revilla, Borough of Manhattan CC (CUNY)
"A thought-provoking
mélange of essays and short stories…by authors who will be enriching
us for years to come."
-Foreword
Magazine
"This eclectic
collection is a tribute to the human spirit
at its best."
-Small Press Review
"More than mere
characters live in these stories.... What you
feel is not
the author's work, it is your own feelings responding to the facts the
author sets forth. That's good writing, and there's much of it here." -Midwest
Book Review
