No one book can set out to achieve everything that a text can do for its people and its nation; but whatever you say one book can’t do, this one almost does it…. Littscapes is a work of art; but also a documentary, a travelogue, a critical work with visual and literary power. .. an innovative approach to literature bringing it alive in description of landscape, life, culture and people … considerable visual beauty, what Derek Walcott calls “visual surprise” … impressive coverage of social history, geography, and politics … a survey of Trinidad’s landscape and of its literature -– Professor Al Creighton, Guyana Prize for Literature & Deputy Vice Chancellor, University of Guyana
Little, if any, of local landscape and culture is omitted .... Rampersad draws readers to the real-life landscapes, landmarks and cultural institutions that forged the literary imagination of local authors … bridges the gap between fiction and reality, painstakingly mapping the spaces … successfully charters a path towards deeper understanding of not only the literary works that define us, but also the authors and their multifaceted inspiration. --Zahra Gordon, Trinidad Guardian
… a book worth having… a great introduction of Trinidad and Tobago and our literary output and cultural heritage to the rest of the world. - Dr Bhoendradatt Tewarie, former Principal, University of the West Indies/ Minister of Planning
…an opportunity to commit to our own literary tours, to celebrate our literatures in our schools, in our communities as a necessary prerequisite to our development, to heal our self-schism – Pearl Eintou Springer, National Poet Laureate, Trinidad and Tobago
… so well crafted, can be an inspiration to other young writers. It provides a most useful beachhead for stirring or buttressing a programme of self-discovery, local and foreign tourism and entrepreneurship, among a number of other avenues for sustainable development in our country. -- First Lady, Her Excellency Dr Jean Ramjohn Richards
