Blind Spot - Priscila Uppal
Selected Praise for Priscila Uppal’s Works
Projection: Encounters with My Runaway Mother
"Projection proves to be remarkably free of self-pity … [A] raw, passionate memoir, a fierce exercise in family exorcism."
— Montreal Gazette
Uppal is brave … made of sterner stuff than most; an inspiration to messed-up adult children everywhere.
— Globe and Mail
"[S]uperbly conveyed without any excessive literary artifice … Projection is a book that’s simultaneously cerebral and visceral, and its ardent refusal of any sort of mind-body split — to sacrifice sophistication for sentiment or vice versa — is the sign of an author who has thrown herself wholly into her book."
— National Post
Incorporating movie and pop-culture references as storytelling devices is what makes this book truly shine … Above all, Uppal is an impeccable writer, deftly infusing complex scenes and emotions with power and weight … a worthy read.
— Quill & Quire
[A] heartbreaking memoir.
—Toronto Life
Intimate, sad, probing and self-aware, often very funny logbook of a harrowing encounter.
— Literary Review of Canada
To Whom It May Concern
It is to be hoped that Uppal will continue to rival Atwood in productivity and wit. As Shakespeare might have said: Fortune, smile again on lovers of CanLit; grace us with more irresistible stories from Uppal’s unique perspective.
— Montreal Gazette
Uppal is a deep thinker, capable of carefully peeling back layer upon layer of the human psyche … makes us laugh and cry long after the last page of the novel has been read.
— Ottawa Citizen
Uppal’s writing bursts with humour, plot turns and insights … Uppal should be congratulated for writing one of the most powerful and riskiest scenes in a Canadian novel … [she] reveals herself as a compassionate and perspicacious novelist whose humanity and intelligence cannot be overlooked.
