Why read it?
1 author picked The Marvellous Equations of the Dread as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Douglass is the kind of writer many of us are jealous of. Her skill with a pen is a marvel. Reading her sentences, I often wonder how she chose these words, how she came to think in this way, and how I could write less like myself and more like her. All of her books are worth reading, but this one’s tale of reincarnation and of life on the margins helped me see that the world is so much more magical than I often take it to be.
From Elias' list on fiction by Jamaican women writers.
