From Bookmarks Magazine By exploring the ferociously cruel and dehumanizing practices of slavery in Jamaica, James adds a new chapter to the history of human bondage in the Americas -- 'a story we may dare to think we already know' (New York Times Book Review). Powerful and eloquent, is narrated in a lilting Jamaican patois that at once underscores and eerily conflicts with the disturbing images of violence and degradation that James conjures. Though the novel is filled with familiar figures -- dissolute masters, jealous mistresses, house and field slaves -- James never lets them devolve into cliches or ciphers; instead, he creates convincingly human characters. A stunning testament to the dynamics of ultimate power and powerlessness, Night Women will keep readers up at night.Copyright 2009 Bookmarks Publishing LLC --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition. Read more Review Both beautifully written and devastatingWriting in the spirit of Toni Morrison and Alice Walker but in a style all his own, James has conducted an experiment in how to write the unspeakable even the unthinkable. And the results of that experiment are an undeniable success. The New York Times Book ReviewThe narrative voice is so assured and the descriptions so detailed and believable that one cant help being engaged. This is a book to love. . . . is hard to pick up, even harder to put down . . . and it deserves to be read. Chicago Tribune is a searing read, full of blood, tears, and the stench of misery. Its barbaric and ancient, but also familiar in the ways that people, consumed by their differences and divisions, easily overlook all that binds them the desire for independence, the right to a civilized life, and the need to give and receive love. The Boston Globe is not merely a historical novel. It is a book as heavily peopled and dark as the night in this isolated and brutal place. It is a canticle of love and hate. Los Angeles Times[Marlon James] has carved strong and compelling female figures out of the harsh landscape of nineteenth-century British-ruled Jamaica . . . s most poignant feature is Jamess sensitive and layered treatment of the unlikely romance that blossoms between Lilith and her Irish overseer. The Miami HeraldWhen a novel casts a powerful spell, I find myself trying to locate where it got hold of me. I knew had me when I started waking at night to worry about its characters. . . . Enslave one people and all are trapped. That familiar concept wears flesh and bone in . It stands in the wake of Toni Morrisons transcendent slave literature, and it holds its own. The Cleveland Plain- DealerJames has given us an epic novel of late-eighteenth-century West Indian slavery, complete with all its carnage and brutishness, but one that, like a Toni Morrison novel, whispers rather than shouts its horrors.Time Out New YorkThe narrative voice, with its idiosyncratic inflections and storytelling warmth, will pull you into this outsized, marvelous account . . . James re-creates a world and brushes it with an element of the fantastic, but the emotions he conveys are all too real and heartbreaking. FlavorpillIf you pick up , you might lose a little sleep. The second novel from Kingston native Marlon James will have you flipping pages, thirsty for more story, late into the night. . . . Well crafted and beautifully written...it will stay in your mind for weeks to come.BookPageDarkly powerful.The Washington Post is a slave narrative, a story of rebellion, and a testament to the human heart in conflict with itself. It is a book of rip and rhythm. Of violence and tenderness. Of the healing glance in all the hatred. It reads like Faulkner in another skin. It is a brave book. And like the best, and most dangerous, of stories, it seems as if it was just waiting to be told.Colum McCannMarlon James has written an exquisite, haunting, and beautiful novel, impossible to resist. Like the best of literature, deserves to be passed down hand to hand, generation to generation.Dinaw MengestuWith , Marlon James proves himself to be Jamaicas answer to Junot Daz, Edwidge Danticat, and Zadie Smith. James imbues his lively, energetic prose and unforgettable characters with a precocious wisdom about love, race, and history that none of us has ever seen before, but that feels alive, even definitive, as soon as weve read it.Colin Channer, author of The Girl with the Golden ShoesMarlon Jamess writing brings to mind early Toni Morrison, Jessica Hagedorn, and Gabriel Garca Mrquez. Kaylie Jones, author of A Soldiers Daughter Never CriesPile them up, a Marlon James character says repeatedly, and Marlon does just that. Pile them up: language, imagery, technique, imagination. All fresh, all exciting.Chris Abani, author of The Virgin of Flames and GraceLand[An] epic narrative . . . as lyrical as it is hypnotic, even in the most violent passages. The IndependentA very nearly perfect work; an exquisite blend of form and content. . . . He bestows on the slave account authenticity and authority.
