full of variety, vitality and passionate prose * TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT * Nathan Englander is one of those rare writers who, like Faulkner, manages to make his seemingly obsessive, insular concerns all the more universal for their specificity -- Richard Russo The depth of Englander's feeling is the thing that separates him from just about everyone. You can hear his heart thumping feverishly on every page -- Dave Eggers Nathan Englander's fiction [is] always animated by a deep, vibrant core of historical resonance -- Jennifer Egan Englander tells the tangled truth of life in prose that, as ever, surprises the reader with its gnarled beauty -- Michael Chabon Z can do nothing but think of the past and where her life went wrong, revealed to the reader in a series of often gripping flashbacks * DAILY MAIL * In Englander's hands, storytelling is a transformative act. Put him alongside Singer, Carver, and Munro. Englander is, quite simply, one of the very best we have -- Colum McCann Nathan Englander's latest is, as usual, superb: a work of psychological precision and moral force, with an immediacy that captures both timeless human truth as well as the perplexities of the present day -- Colson Whitehead, author of THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD Political thriller, absurdist farce, globetrotting romance: multiple forms jostle in a beautifully written take on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict * MAIL ON SUNDAY * In these shoots of individual compassion lie the reason Englander always wanted to write this book, and the reason you might wish to read it: hope. * SUNDAY TIMES * I love that fiction such as this can make you experience so intensely those great subjects with which your real-life familiarity is so very slight * GUARDIAN *
