Recensione:
“Captures the muddled idealism of the young and its easy perversion into violence . . . and offers some clues to a better understanding of terrorism today. It’s a daringly ambitious thing for a writer to attempt, but he pulls it off for a thrilling and moving read.”
--Daily Mail
“An urgent and passionate piece of work . . . fairly afire with an anger on behalf of the world’s dispossessed and powerless that is so conspicuously absent from much cozy and collusive current fiction.”
--The Sunday Telegraph (UK)
“A sharp reminder, as sharp as tomorrow’s headlines, of how the past will insist on haunting the present. Hari Kunzru writes a clear, clean, elegant prose, and his presentation of political realities is worryingly real.”
--John Banville, author of The Sea
