Editorial Reviews

Review

"Smart, beautiful, passionate, necessary: Rotten English is as canny as it is exhaustive; an extraordinary X-ray of English, as she is spoken, broken, and loved."
― Junot Díaz, author of This is How You Lose Her

"Rotten English is a remarkable collection of vernacular poetry, prose, essays and novellas that has real and academic importance, and I applaud Ahmad for bringing this debate to a larger public. This book makes us aware of the incredible flexibility of English and charts its journey to become a truly global language...."
― Chris Abani, Los Angeles Times

"Roughly a billion people speak English today and, as this anthology demonstrates, they do so in infinite and rich variety."
― Washington Post

"For anybody who has ever been tutted at… come and have a bath in the wonderful Englishes in this book."
― Ian McMillan, London Times
