Z Z Packer recommends
War by Candlelight
War by Candlelight (2005)
Daniel Alarcón
"Reader beware: each of the slim tales in War by Candlelight starts off innocently enough, but invariably explodes with the fatal power of a grenade or the sudden, magnificent blossoming of a flower. Daniel Alarcón is a storyteller whose wisdom outpaces his youth, and whose talent is already ablaze."
The Cellist of Sarajevo
The Cellist of Sarajevo (2008)
Steven Galloway
"I cannot imagine a lovelier, more beautifully wrought book about the depravity of war as The Cellist of Sarajevo. Each chapter is a brief glimpse at yet another aspect of the mind, the heart, the soul - altogether Galloway gives us fine, deep notes of human music which will remain long after the final page."
Searching for Tina Turner
Searching for Tina Turner (2010)
Jacqueline Luckett
"A fierce, beautiful tour de force... a heroine for the ages... Luckett is a writer to watch and admire."
