What our readers and reviewers say about From the Center of the Earth
| "Geraldine Kennedy's choices cannot be faulted. I don't
know of any other volume that has captured the Peace Corps spirit as insightfully
. . ."
The Washington Post |
"'Pretty exotic' will be many a reader's conclusion, but so will 'thoroughly
human,' i.e. funny, raffish, tragic, cruel, . . this is a powerful, engrossing
collection."
Booklist, The American Library Association |
| "These are real writers at work, who have observed so keenly the
arcana of the cultures they lived in, and written it all down, that you can
begin to fell overwhelmed . . ."
RPCV Writers |
"These Peace Corps tales succeed in illuminating a potpourri
of cultures with little self-pity, an understandable amount of frustration
and a leavening of humor."
Small Press, The Magazine of Independent Publishing |
| " . . . full of unexpected insights . . . literate . . . highly readable
stories."
Kliatt Young Adult Paperback Book Guide |
" . . . a veritable treasure trove of excellent prose . . . refreshing
and uplifting . . ."
Rapport, The West Coast Review of Books |
| " . . . required reading for everyone considering cross-cultural service."
WMSC Voice, Women's Missionary and Service Commission of the Mennonite Church |
|
| "The writers share the belief that people of different cultures can
come together in mutual appreciation and respect for their differences, though
the experiences they describe are at times wrenching. A superb collection
. . ."
The Atlanta Journal Constitution |
" The collection contains a surprising amount of humor for a book grounded
in cultural turmoil, global poverty, linguistic confusion, and a decent amount
of tragedy . . . a crash course in cultural relativism while capturing the
particular sights, struggles, and smells of distant places."
