Having never read any of Maharaj's work I was pleased to discover that this was a collection of short stories - perfect for digesting in small bites. Themed around the issues of immigration and adaptation to new life and customs in Canada, this collection explores the emotions raw and exposed, although it is written with a delicacy and humour that reflect an understanding and humanness of the experience. An interesting and engaging book. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
“For so long I imagined I was making some long journey which would make sense when I had reached the end, but now I realize there are no journeys, just imprints in other people’s dusty footsteps.” -- from Journey of Angels Recognized for his first collection of short fiction, The Interloper, with a nomination for the Commonwealth Writers Prize for Best First Book, Rabindranath Maharaj displays that distinct talent again in The Book of Ifs and Buts. Part of our new Vintage Tales series, these stories tell the experience of immigrants as they take up new lives, often alone, in strange lands. With passion and a discreet comic sensibility, Maharaj brings poignancy and enduring beauty to lives that prosper, suffer, endure heartbreak and realize dreams.
