«They're dangerous to love, more dangerous to ignore — which girl are you?» Zizzi Bonah's collection of Phem Phant Noir short stories and verses are for those with minds as broad as braggadocio, and nerves hard enough to rival a diamond from the first water. There's the writer who murders words that press upon her page, and serves up a word-corpse poem… There's the optician who extracts salt crystals from her clients' tears, and dashes them on her fish and chips… Not forgetting, the lady who blinks a truth-moment into a picture, she is a living camera… HEALTH WARNING: This book is rather like surviving your renegade's cooking, and should therefore be taken in small bites. For that reason, it comes with no letter of recomendation!
