Publisher's Note
They say it came first from Africa, carried in the screams of the enslaved; that it was the death bane of the Tainos, uttered just as one world perished and another began; that it was a demon drawn into Creation through the nightmare door that was cracked open in the Antilles.
User Reviews
by benho on Sep 14, 2008
| Pros | Brisk conversational narrative style, referencing sci-fi/fantasy/comics like Eco references Greek poets. Satisfying payoff. |
| Cons | A bit tedious at times. A rehash of the American immigrant coming-of-age and fitting-in narrative. |
| Bottom Line | Brilliant narrative style that makes a dungeons and dragons and comic book obsessed 2nd generation Domincian immigrant geek's quixotic quest for love, somehow both tragic and heroic. |
