Recenzii
“A graceful, nimble book.” — Boston Globe
“A vivid portrait of families in flux, wandering back and forth over borders both geographic and cultural.” — Los Angeles Times
“Beautifully written...As sensuously fulfilling as the romantic escapades and rich curries in which Mohanraj’s characters indulge.” — Orlando Sentinel
“Mohanraj’s writing style is spare and piercing, and she exercises a sophisticated economy of language.” — San Francisco Chronicle Book Review
“These stories transcend time and space.” — Time Out New York
“...Mohanraj evokes a moving portrait of families searching for love and a place to call home.” — Publishers Weekly
“Intricately interwoven stories featuring sensual language and surprising sexual twists.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Mohanraj offers readers great insights into her characters and has plenty of material to be mined in future works. Recommended.” — Library Journal
One writer who earned online celebrity status for her posts of literary erotic fiction is Mary Anne Mohanraj—a writer of powerful voice and impressive range. Her fiction takes many forms and frequently strays from traditional narrative. There are letters, stories told in e-mail exchanges, poems, and stream-of-consciousness musings. Although Mohanraj may take the voice of man or woman, and portrays a variety of sexual orientations, her characters come across as believable individuals, with true-to-life thoughts and—in most cases—behaving in likely ways. Even the exceptions to believability are clearly intentional, as in a comical tale of passion between a beautiful professor and her handsome jock student, which is as much satire of erotica as it is erotica itself. Worthy of note is that the publisher sought out this book as part of the battle against Internet censorship. Portions of the profits are being contributed to organizations working to protect free speech. — Amazon.com review on Torn Shapes of Desire
