"In a literary market crowed with 'Fast Food,' Winfred Cook’s debut novel “Uncle Otto” is like “literary Soul Food.”
- Dr. Tezira Nabongo,law professor

Cook distinctively writes with a very fresh, strong and unique voice that is reminiscent of Ernest Gaines and Jamaica Kincaid. “Uncle Otto” is a very brave undertaking whose path even seasoned writers may have been reluctant to journey.
