Edward P Jones recommends
 War by Candlelight (2005) Daniel Alarcón "Daniel Alarcón's stories are one of the reasons we go to storytellers -- they present worlds we have only imagined or heard about in less truthful and poetic ways. And Mr. Alarcón, like the best storytellers, reveals to us that the world we have secreted in our hearts spins in a bigger universe with other hearts just as good and just as bad as our own. Long before you come to the poignant words, "I come see you, but instead meet your absence," you will know what I mean."" |  Get Down (2006) Asali Solomon "Touching and sensitively observed... from the first words to the last." |  More (2008) Austin Clarke "Clarke's skill and sensitivity presents his readers with a portrait of a soul worth knowing and worth applauding." |
