DINNER WITH OSAMA Gets Rave Review in Women's Review of Books
Tuesday, January 27, 2009
- Marilyn Krysl’s short story collection DINNER WITH OSAMA, winner of the 2008 Richard Sullivan Prize in Short Fiction, was reviewed in Women’s Review of Books:
“Krysl pulls off the seemingly impossible, getting us to empathize with characters who are simply too unhappy or idealistic to be much fun . . . The two novellas that come at the end of the collection, ‘Mitosis’ and ‘Welcome to the Torture Center, Love’ both set in the Sudan, are stunners. . . . Africa seems to have elicited from Krysl a language that is as stark and elemental as the landscape itself. The novellas are beautiful evocations of the Sudanese tragedy, from many sides: the suffering Africans themselves, the aid workers whose efforts are rendered irrelevant by the sheer size of the catastrophe.” —Women’s Review of Books, January/February 2009
