RaveThe Globe and MailThis book is a high-wire act – a taut, highly visual, time-stopping story of two brothers ... Brother is filled with moments of swagger and bravery, of recklessness and love that sparks against the dull pain of tragedy, which is foretold in elegiac descriptions of the landscape ... If blackness and maleness and so much about racialized experience gets reduced to two nefarious dimensions on TV, and inadequate words in the news, what can fiction do for us at a time when we are looking to understand other people\'s truths? As it turns out in [Brother], everything. What Chariandy has created in this slim book is a language that can transcend the limits of words ... Chariandy has written a book worth reading through an entire library to find.
