what they say
– Lorna Goodison
Philip Nanton offers us an acoustic mirror in which to contemplate the collective foibles that connect the islands. A vibrant addition to the Caribbean bookshelf.”
– John Agard
A pleasure to see the visual parallel of booops’ work against the rhythm of Nanton’s text. The illustrations demonstrate a mature style and individual voice combining text, colour, line, objects, multimedia and assemblage into a distinctive whole.”
– Rex Dixon
It is fast-paced, vibrant, and Nanton has an ear for rhythm as well as the nuances of people’s language and mannerisms. Characters are cleverly sketched without being stereotypes; their dialogue is rich with colour.”
