“Difficult Reading promises to enrich critical Caribbean studies with nuanced, original readings of texts and authors often considered too difficult for readers and critics alike to make sense of. Its enduring legacy will be to suggest ways that such opacity might be productively read, not as an appropriation of modernist techniques, but as a literary aesthetic that arises from the region’s experience of colonization, an aesthetic that eschews realism, linearity and resolution in order to draw attention to the ‘historical aporias,’ traumas, and continued epistemic violence that mark the Caribbean space.” - Njelle Hamilton, University of Virginia, author of Phonographic Memories: Popular Music and the Contemporary Caribbean Novel
