Description
In Valmiki’s Child, critically-acclaimed and best selling author Shani Mootoo returns for the design and a few of the styles she first discovered in her breakout book, Cereus Blooms during The Night. Mootoo introduces visitors to the Krishnus, a well-to-do Trinidadian family securely ensconced within the rigid social structure of the area. In this tale of family secrets, a painful fact is concealed by patriarch Valmiki about his sexual identity while his newest, the smart and vibrant Viveka, struggles to come quickly to terms with a painful solution attached to her sexual identity. This superbly created and hypnotically spaced book examines the complex relationship of race, sex, class, and sex, as Valmiki’s and Viveka’s strategies threaten to shake the foundations of the household in a closed culture.
