'Azad Essa a Bollywood-soaked Indian-battered black South African-tinged accidental academic and incidental journalist ... leaves no holy cows untaunted - nay he even imagines them as beefburgers. The taunting is fast and furious and is bound to irritate many men and a few women in power' - Ari Sitas author of Voices That Reason 'Azad writes with great verve and wit but behind all the humour and lightness of touch is a deeply affecting and persuasive critique of the world we inhabit' - Mirza Waheed author of The Collaborator 'The book is not only seamlessly written it is also chutzpadik refreshing and - at its core - deeply humanistic' - Jewish Report 'The man is abrasive engaged uncowed' - Kevin Bloom author of Ways of Staying 'Irreverence and wicked humour ricochet at high speed through this collection like a game of squash played with a golf ball'- Sanjay Kak Film-maker
