Lou Rowan gave the most tremendous reading I've heard in any language, an actual performance that gave flesh to the words, opening out new perspectives in an already highly-suggestive story. The necessity of each word, sound, and of the rhythm of it all forcefully came out through the music of reading. Of "what love can do to text."

---Anne-Laure Tissut, translator, Professor of American Literature, The Sorbonne
