About the novel The Saddest Pleasure<\/i><\/b><\/i><\/p>\n
[It] is like a tub of Neapolitan ice cream, three flavours and \u2026 [each] reader will find their favourite flavour. The first part is travel writing, the \u201csaddest pleasure\u201d of the title, and Baranay writes about it with intelligence, wit and an eye for rich detail. This style is impressionistic, snapshot, almost pushing into stream of consciousness at times, with intermingled memories, observations and some sharp social satire\u2026. The second part of the book is \u201cstories\u201d \u2026 Baranay writes with intelligent insight about interaction, about self and sex \u2026 The Third part is \u2018A Novella in Three Parts\u2019. \u2026<\/p>\n
The Saddest Pleasure<\/i> [is] an alluring read, fragrant with Eastern experience, bitter edged with a relentless contemplatedlife.<\/p>\n
Australian Bookseller And Publisher<\/cite><\/cite><\/p>\nAbout the novel Pagan<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
A narrative tour de force.<\/p>\n
Editions<\/i>Review<\/i><\/p>\n
Pagan is brilliantly written.<\/p>\n
The Advertiser<\/i><\/p>\n
Pagan works on several levels simultaneously. It chronicles a society in transition, contains a moving evocation of young love, and tries to unravel the circumstances of the Goossens scandal of reputed orgies and pornographic photographs.<\/p>\n
The novel also deals with the feminist tradition of Wicca – witchcraft – and the highs and lows that individual lives can encompass.<\/p>\n

About the novel The Edge of Bali<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Inez Baranay\u2019s The Edge of Bali is made up of three related short stories about three unrelated tourists – Nelson, Marla and Tyler\u2026 All three are searching, all unsure of whether they should really be in Bali or where they\u2019ll go next: three examples of the mass of lemming-like lost souls who flock to the third world to look for meaning, religion, spirit, beauty – all the things that amid our wealth and technology of the modern world, we have lost. \u2026This is a book of full of contemporary dilemmas, clearly and keenly expressed by Baranay\u2019s\u2019 characters. \u2026 The book is really about the phenomenon of tourism. \u2026 The questions raised by the book are fascinating and oftenunanswerable.<\/p>\n
Australian Book Review<\/cite><\/cite><\/p>\nAbout the novel Sheila Power<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
A rattling good read that defies pigeon holing into any one genre \u2026Sheila Power<\/i> is a block-buster of a novel, a satirical thriller filled with lashings of racy sex between moments of transcendental spirituality and shopping.<\/p>\n
Sydney Star Observer<\/i><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
[A] mix of poignant comedy and eccentric social commentary… Inez Baranay\u2019s cult novel Sheila Power<\/i>.<\/p>\n
The Age<\/i><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
Sheila Power<\/i>\u2026is both a continuation of and a break with Baranay\u2019s writings. \u2026 She\u2019s always been difficult to categorise. When she is defined, it\u2019s with labels that can work both for and against her \u2026 Sheila is a character we\u2019d all like to be in our dreams. Ruthless and unstoppable, a kind of fantasywoman.<\/p>\n
Courier-Mail<\/cite><\/p>\nAbout the novel Neem Dreams<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Despite the neo-hippy vibe of its title Neem Dreams<\/i> is not your average culture cuisine, the how I got the shits in Shilpi kind of novel about white people who find themselves leper-hugging in India before they return to their monotonous life-sentences in Manchester or Melbourne, immersed in mortgage and middle-managerhood. Woven around four characters and a neem tree, this is a novel about globalisation, corporate rapacity, environmental annihilation and political villainy.<\/p>\n
Tara Sahgal, India Today<\/cite><\/p>\nAbout the novel With The Tiger<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
With The Tiger<\/i> goes some way in destroying the notion that classics are best left untouched. There is no questioning her ability as a writer of prose and a storyteller. \u2026[A]s Elliott would have put it: \u201cMy dear, I wouldn\u2019t miss it for all the jade in China.\u201d<\/p>\n
DNA<\/em>(Mumbai)<\/p>\nThis interesting, satisfying and revealing work of fiction is as much about the process of writing as the product of writing, or the story itself \u2026<\/p>\n

About the novel Always Hungry<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
In a reading culture where vampire stories have been commodified for an indiscriminate but devouring audience of teens, here finally is a remodeling of the genre for mature intelligent readers who prefer their vamps similarly mature, intelligent and endowed with the finer luxuries of life.<\/p>\n
