Description
“[Boys Will Be Boys] is best read, as Suleri signalled in her earlier book Meatless Days, as a procession of little tales : honed into near-perfection by the story-teller s art, haunted by the elegance of Urdu and English poets.Meatless Days has a singular position in the South Asian canon. Boys Will Be Boys, echoing it after a wait of fifteen years, is, if anything, better still.”
(Aamer Hussein The Independent)
“Sara Suleri Goodyear brings her family vividly to life once more. . . . The author has the rare ability to knit together moments of such absolute sadness, with vivid, light-hearted memories of those she has loved and lost. . . . Suleri remains a skilled miniaturist. She can compress entire worlds into a few brief sentences, filling in the tiny details, but never losing sight of the balance and structure of the whole. This is a thoroughly satisfying read.”
