RaveThe Guardian (UK)It is true that none of the characters in Too Much Lip ever pick up a book, but they are not without culture – yet it’s a culture we generally denigrate. Even the more positive reviewers focused too much on Too Much Lip’s gritty, dark undercurrents of dispossession and violence. I couldn’t understand how so many failed to acknowledge the crazy, lusty, pulsating-with-life joy that permeates every page ... Lucashenko’s is a rare and powerful voice ... Too Much Lip is ultimately a book about family, and love, and redemption, told by a strong and clear voice throbbing with unassailable humanity.
