Hi Gilbert,
First you accuse me, than strangely for some reason you portray feelings
of empathy. The tons of accusations are from you alone Gilbert! You
need to refresh your memory by visiting the archives; hopefully you will
be able to focus clearly on what you read, what you understand and

Instead of all this endless circular lafda over
reviews that is leading nowhere, why don't you just
buy a copy of the book and read it? If you like it,
keep it. If you don't, give it away. Case closed.
If you feel moved to do so, write your own review.

Hi Avelino,
I empathize with you. I am in the same boat as you.
I am defending the criticism of a Goan author's writings;
Because Mehta's review is hitting on Edna Fernandes' work.
And all that Goans - D'Souza, Colaco, Pinto, Goveia and Ribeiro did is hit-up

Dear George,
Than you for appreciating the posts I forward. I know people do get
confused sometimes, but Gilbert seems perennially confused. Moreover,
Gilbert, who has co-authored a fiction story, seems to know little or
nothing about reviews.
He is irked by Mehta's review of a Goan author;

It is always a pleasure and stimulus to dialogue with an individual who remains
on topic. I hope others can emulate your example. I will do so by

Dear Mario,
By others I suspect you mean me. It's ok, I'm a big
girl, I can take it. I didn't jump on any bandwagon
nor should the reasons escape you, as I make them
adequately clear in my post.
Gilbert may have been amiss in accusing Avelino of

Excellent exposition of book reviewing and comments on

Gilbert,
I have not read the book Holy Warriors which was released recently, so
I am not in a position to say about the disparity in reviews written by
Khuswant Singh and Pratap Mehta.
Even after reading the book, I might not be able to do any justice as
reviewing is not my expertise as I

I've already eaten crow and humble pie and
