reviewed The Garlic Ballads on
Think Shakespearean tragedy; Romeo and Juliet; peasant class, eastern twist on plot. Non linear narrative, bizarre, disgusting details. If you really want to get into it, you might need to read some lit. crit. to explain any symbolism of the garlic, names of people, customs, and culture.
