My stories, my family`s stories, were not stories in India. They were just life. When I left & made new friends in a new country, only then did the things that happened to my family, the things we had done, become stories. Stories worth telling, stories worth writing down. Like one in six people in India, Sujatha Gidla was born an untouchable. Her mother & uncles were born in the last days of British colonial rule. They grew up in a world marked by poverty & injustice, but also full of possibility. In the slums where they lived, everyone had a political allegiance. Rallies, agitations & arrests were commonplace. The independence movement promised freedom but for untouchables & other poor & working people, little changed. In rich, novelistic prose, Ants Among Elephants tells Gidla`s remarkable family story, detailing her uncle`s emergence as a poet & revolutionary & her mother`s struggle for emancipation through education.A moving portrait of love, hardship & struggle, Ants Among Elephants is a personal history of modern India, told from the bottom up.` The story Gidla recounts is so urgent & affecting that it is easy to overlook the extraordinary literary skill with which she tells it.` Literary Review` Unsentimental, deeply poignant... Gidla writes with quiet, fierce conviction.` Michiko Kakutani, New York Times Book Review ...

`A fascinating, even compulsory addition to the Bolano fan`s bookshelf.. .the sentences whizz over your head like bullets` Daily Telegraph Antwerp was Roberto Bolano`s first novel, though he chose not to publish it until 2002, more than twenty years after he`d written it. Set amidst the seedy hotels & deserted campsites on the Costa Brava, & filled with hapless girls, failed poets, & shifty policemen, Antwerp is a short & cinematic experimental crime novel spliced together with voices from a dream, from a nightmare, from passers-by, from an omniscient narrator, from ` Roberto Bolano`. Intense & irrepressible, the novel is a personal declaration of the power of literature; reading it is to be present at the birth of Bolano`s enterprise in prose, to see the beginning, to witness the moment when his talent explodes. ` It`s hard to think of a writer who has multiplied the possibilities more times than Roberto Bolano` Nicole Krauss, Guardian ...
