Reviews"Neither imagination nor inspiration is what makes good literature; it is empathy, an eye for detail, rhythm (style) and, possibly, a trauma. All of these elements permeate Hair Everywher e, an elegant book which touches the mind and the heart." --Dasa Drndic, author, Trieste, "Tulic's prose possesses a sensory vibrancy; her descriptions are full of colors, textures, and smells." -- World Literature Today
