    Extractions: " Less relentlessly bleak than King Lear , this novel covers the whole range of human motivation, from abject cowardice to self-sacrificing bravery, and shows the humble triumph of goodness. Shani Mootoo handles these grand themes in a narrative style that is engagingly plain. The story of Mala's extraordinary life is constructed from the simplest of things: snails, seeds, plants and a gramophone. Cereus Blooms at Night is a stunning first novel.

    Extractions: How to subscribe to Booklist Magazine Mootoo, Shani. Cereus Blooms at Night. Sept. 1998. 272p. Grove; dist. by Publishers Group West, $23 (0-8021-1633-7). Malnourished and unspeaking, Mala Ramchandin arrives at a nursing home in Paradise, a town on the island of Lantanacamara, amid long-standing rumors. In Paradise, people still kill their own chickens and believe that Mala has committed a terrible crime. Cereus Blooms at Night , a finalist for several literary prizes upon its 1996 publication in Canada, is an exploration of truth. Mala's gender-bending story is a transgenerational tragedy of abandonment, sexual persecution, love, and escape, told in prose so sensual you can smell the cereus, lime, and cardamom. But you can also smell decay: the decay of faith, marriage, and human bodies. At the core of this work, Mootoo wrests with both psychological and physical violence. That may be why its tenderness shimmers. This first novel is a daring mixture of brutal realities and magical overtones, and mostof the time, the mixture works. Occasionally, it's difficult to discern who's narrating. But among the recent spate of novels exploring incest and abandonment, Cereus offers the rare chance to see characters do more than merely survive.

    Extractions: News reporter The Yukon has never experienced anything like the tragedies which just occurred in Littleton, Colorado, and Taber, Alberta. But that doesn't mean it couldn't happen here, and educators are aware of this fact, said deputy Education minister Wally Seipp. "I don't think teachers or jurisdictions are asking, 'Can it happen here?' but a darker question: 'Will it happen here?'" said the official in charge of the territory's public schools. "The question is what can we do about it. We know people have a heightened awareness now because of these incidents and I'm sure they'll have an increased vigilance about how students are feeling." On Wednesday a 14-year-old student entered the W.R. Meyer High School in Taber, pop. 7,000, with a .22-calibre rifle and started firing.

33. Sawnet Review: Out On Main Street, By Shani Mootoo

    Extractions: Sawnet Bookshelf Authors Reviews Reviewed by Susan Chacko I'd read Shani Mootoo's Cereus Blooms at Night , and had heard good things about Out on Main Street already, but the title story blew me away. It's written in Caribbean dialect, and is about an Indo-Caribbean lesbian couple in an Indian strip somewhere in Canada. It sounded a lot like Toronto's Gerrard St. area. The mithai shop is run by a Fijian family, and the story beautifully encapsulates the many and varied forms of the desi diaspora. The sweets are called by different names in Fiji ('kheer' vs. Trinidad's 'sweetrice') and so the Trinidadian customer practices the words before entering, so that the shopkeeper won't sneer at her. A couple of drunken Caucasian men enter and (perhaps unintentionally?) humiliate the owner by their attempts at conversation ('Alarm salay kum'). The mood in the shop changes as those with brown skin tense and group together against this 'invasion'. After the men leave, one of the waiters gets over-familiar with a female customer and she irritatedly turns him down; the sympathetic looks between the women customers form another grouping. The two main characters have been trying to downplay their lesbianism in this environment, but then two of their very obviously lesbian friends enter, and the atmosphere in the place turns perceptibly colder, and the earlier female bonding vanishes. It's not a long story, just a few pages, but is really quite fabulous. I was particularly pleased to find it because I've had an overdose of expat-Indian angst of late, and this story focuses entirely on the diaspora. It demonstrates quite beautifully that we are all part of many intersecting identities, and can select or be forced into one or more at any time, depending on the situation.

    Extractions: Zij debuteerde in 1993 met Out on Main Street , een verhalenbundel rond het thema migratie. Doordat ze knel zitten tussen hun eigen cultuur en de cultuur waarin ze terecht zijn gekomen, worden de personages in de verhalen steeds onzekerder. Zelf willen ze zich vaak zo snel mogelijk aanpassen maar dan blijkt dat nou net van ze verwacht wordt dat ze zich zo exotisch mogelijk gedragen. Vooral het titelverhaal, over een vrouw uit Trinidad met wortels in India, die zich in Vancouver moet gedragen alsof ze vertrouwd is met alle facetten van de Indiase cultuur, heeft een autobiografische achtergrond. 'De cereus in de tuin zal nu wel snel gaan bloeien. We hebben de gestekte scheut ruim een jaar geleden geplant. Zo lang is het alweer geleden dat ik mijn dorp aan de andere kant van het eiland verliet en naar Paradise kwam.' Verteller in De cereus bloeit 's nachts is Tyler ('Zo word ik genoemd, Tyler, meer niet.'), die werkt als broeder in een tehuis voor arme bejaarden in het stadje Paradise op Lantanacamara, een fictief Caribisch eiland. Hij is de enige man op het eiland die ooit een opleiding in de verpleegkunde heeft gevolgd. Gedurende die opleiding, aan een school in het buitenland, in de Huiverende Noorder Draslanden, had hij geworsteld met homoseksuele gevoelens.

37. Desire In Shani Mootoo's "Cereus Blooms At Night"

    Extractions: In Cereus Blooms at Night , Mootoo perverts the ideas of love, romance and desire. The characters, Ambrose and Chandin, lust after females that prove unattainable. This lust denied, they both turn to marriages founded upon familiarity and solace instead of love. When Chandin hears Lavinia marries Fenton, he "wanted nothing more than to collapse in the security of a woman, a woman from his background, and Sarah was the most likely possibility" (45). For Ambrose, "It was only after Mala Ramchandin shoved Ambrose out of her life that he noticed one Miss Elsie Smart. He turned to the eager Elsie for solace" (109). Their unfulfilled desires fester and manifest themselves in the rebellion of several other characters in the novel. From Chandin's marriage arises a controversial lesbian relationship between Sarah and Lavinia. Out of Ambrose and Elsies marriage comes a daughter who becomes a son. From these complications, how does one judge Mootoo's valuation of love and desire? Are the bizarre consequences of a loveless marriage indicative of unfulfilled lust, or is Mootoo pointing to other factors that shape the impossibility of Chandin and Lavinia or Mala and Ambrose marrying? Moreover, how does Mootoo trace the evolution of desire? And what does it mean that the desire is directed at Mala as she becomes the victim of two mens delusions of desire? Chandin satisfies his sexual lust by forcing it upon her; whereas, Ambrose realizes he has "fallen in love with desire itself and the act of desiring was its own fulfillment. He was, he realized, unwilling to jeopardize his relationship with desire. If he succumbed to Mala's treasures, desire could change, would disappear even" (217).
