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.
