Reviews
"""Acid is a tempestuous and turbulent trip: hallucinogenic and haywire, imbued with a melancholia that is hard to shake off. . . . Sreenivasan's English translation of her own work is masterfully accomplished."" --Hindustan Times ""It only takes two facing mirrors to build a labyrinth,"" said Jorge Luis Borges. Sangeetha Sreenivasan proves that two women loving each other could be like living mirrors creating a labyrinth where they themselves, as well as everyone associated with them, are entrapped. . . . Borges had said that the original is unfaithful to the translation. Not for Acid: both versions (Sreenivasan has done the translation herself) are unfailingly compelling."" --The Hindu ""A brilliant novel. The author has deftly spun a yarn around the tale of a dysfunctional family and this bold novel heralds the arrival of a powerful new voice in India. . . . It's bold, brave and does not shy from tackling even taboo subjects. . . . Sangeetha is a very powerful writer."" --New Asian Writing"
