Z Z Packer recommends
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 (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." |
