Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"An excellent contribution to the series... the strength of the book lies in its documentation of a cross-cultural tradition and its detailed observations of practices of Kali worship..." - in: The Book Review 59 (January 2002)"The book is very well researched and beautifully written. Its intermingling of the sacred and the secular, its pictorial presentation of the Kali's feast and festivities at Blairmont temple [...], and its snippets of chants and songs and poems, makes the reading of the book an experience of participating in the rituals of the puja itself." - in: Interdisciplinary Literary Studies: a journal of criticism and theory 4/1 (Fall 2002)"Translating Kali's Feast has opened out for the reader fresh and significant paths which can and will surely be further pursued." - in: The Translator 12/1 (2006) Read more...
