Suleri writes with a surgical intellectual frankness... and a
poetic precision which crisps the reader into paying absolute
attention

A tour de force of memory and interpretation...What makes Meatless
Days such an astonishing book is its corrosive effect on partitions
of all kinds - between body and history, politics and poetry,
language and experience, the East and the West.

Nine autobiographical tales that move easily back and forth among

book sing
