Title: the success of this work is the dialogue initiate by it
Product review: If you view the comments here by those who read the book you can see that the significance of "Bury Me Standing" lies in the discourse it has evoked. To those who judge the book and find fault, your comments indicate that you have knowledge about this subject we all should be made aware of. Write your own story. And to those who enjoyed this work and learned about a culture they may not be from, your positive response even from a possibly biased or flawed work contributes toward a communal empathy any human should have for other disenfranchised people. The story here is not the writer, or the prose, or proper translation; the story is that this diasporic culture exists among us and trying to recognize them is a valuable endeavor. I would recommend this to those who are not turned-off by a descriptive rather than narrative style and for people who are interested in a few facets of the Gypsy diaspora.
