Praise for Breytenbach's Return to Paradise: "This wonderful book is written with a wild heart and an unrelenting eye, and is fueled by the sort of rage that produces great literature." --The Washington Post "Protean, funny, bitchy, beautifully written and searingly bleak . . . As in all of Mr. Breytenbach's writing, the lyrical pleasures here are intense." --The New York Times Book Review
