It is hugely daring, utterly irresistible, deeply serious and unlike anything I have ever read. <br> -- New York Times Book Review <br> <br> Hypnotic postmodern noir of almost unrivaled fury . . . Expect to be enthralled and maybe amazed . . . Occupied City takes no prisoners . . . Hardly any writer can invoke T. S. Eliot and The Waste Land and expect to get away with it, but Peace does. He's an original and ambitious writer. <br>-- Los Angeles Times Book Review<br> <br> Like the novels of Stieg Larsson, Peace's books are fueled by political passion . . . Occupied City [is] genuinely hypnotic. <br>-- Harper's <br> This is a savagely beautiful, richly startling novel . . . The raw beauty of Peace's language envelops you . . . Peace writes brilliantly of shattered roads, shattered lives, a fragmenting self, fragmenting society . . . He is an astonishing storyteller. <br>-- The Times Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
