Description

Land without Chocolate is Faizal Deen's startling first book of poetry. This book is a potpourri of delight, bursting with resonances of Peter Pan, Bob Dylan, Jamaica Kincaid, Toni Morrison and Shakespeare. The author's description of the gay culture in both his native and adopted countries is at once subtle and outright. The entire memoir is permeated with the fragrances and flavours of the country of his birth and childhood.
