The Wasted Vigil Summary
|
“Arguably the best novel available on the current situation in the Middle East. The jihadists, the warlords, the crusading Americans–all are given voice in calm, relentless, shatteringly beautiful prose that reveals the essential wrongness of the current conflict from every angle. There’s no whitewash or caricature here, just authentic writing that delivers the world–and a range of extraordinary characters. Highly recommended.” –Library Journal (starred) “An intense, empathetic, magisterial interpretation of clashing beliefs and entwined fates, in a harsh and ruined, yet lovely place . . . Complexity, beauty, violence and tragedy mark the pages of Aslam’s affecting story . . . [The novel has] insight and somber impact.” –Kirkus Reviews (starred) “Kiriyama-winner Aslam takes an ambitious and moving look at the human cost of Afghanistan’s war-torn reality . . . An unflinchingly clear picture of a country whose history of strife is still being written.” –Publishers Weekly (starred) From the Hardcover edition. |
