ReviewsKirkus ReviewsOn the surface, Celanire is an envoy of civilization who cultivates elaborate gardens and rails against female circumcision and oppression of women. Wrested back from sacrifice, she's the double-agent of the unpropitiated demon-gods....Lush and lurid, as are its sultry settings...seducing the reader with silken irony., Edwidge Danticat, author of The Dew BreakerAnother great offering from one of our most gifted writers. Read and learn, but most of all, read [Who Slashed Celanire's Throat?] and enjoy., Colin Channer, author of Passing ThroughMystical, magical, riveting, true. All these words apply to Maryse Condé's thought-provoking novel, Who Slashed Celanire's Throat?, Quincy Troupe, author of Transcircularities: New and Selected Poems and Miles: The AutobiographyMaryse Condé is one of the most important novelists writing today. Her stories are both historical and present, in the moment, murmuring secrets flavored with a Caribbean language of swishing rhythms, sweet as nectar, and lyrical as the swooshing skirts of the Guadeloupean women who people her new novel., Joan Dayan, author of Haiti, History, and the GodsWith this "fantastical tale," Condé claims her place as the mostdaring of gothic writers. Enigmatic, obsessive, and fascinating, this novel is the story of a woman goaded to retribution by the scar encircling her neck....[The novel] redefines once and for all what has been called "witchcraft," conjuring it rather as a core belief, a project of thought working itself through terror.
