Peter Ho Davies Quotes and Sayings - Page 1

“Lysley Tenorio is a writer of sly wit and lively inventionâ€”these are stories bursting with wonders (from monster movies and leper colonies, to faith-healers and superheroes)â€”but most wondrous of all is his intimate sense of character. Each story is a confession of love betrayed, told with a mournful, austere tenderness as heartbreaking as it is breathtaking.”
-- Peter Ho Davies

“Men We Reaped is a fiercely felt meditation on the value of life that at once reminds us of its infinite worth and indicts us - as a society - for our selective, casual complicity in devaluing it. Ward's account of these losses is founded in a compelling emotional honesty, and graced with moments of stark poetry.”

“The Green Shore is an engrossing novel about political oppression, played out on an intimate family scale. Bakopoulos charts the subtle, gnawing pressures of life under the Greek juntaâ€”the steady drip of daily coercionâ€”with an exacting empathy. In particular, her depiction of love under tyrannyâ€”by turns hesitant, furtive and liberatingâ€”is as astute as it is moving,”

“The immersive stories of This Is Paradise are a lithe blend of formal invention and traditional narrative pleasures. As such they reflect Kristiana Kahakauwila's intimate but expansive vision of a Hawai'i forged from the collisions of past and present, here and there. Her protagonists are as richly distinctive as the pidgin they speak, and yet each struggles profoundly with identity-that negotiation between ourselves and the world, which is at once Hawaiian, American, universally and compellingly human.”
-- Peter Ho Davies

#Struggle #Past #Vision
“A psychologically engrossing novel about the homes we make-in our houses, in our neighborhoods, and in the hearts of our loved ones. Laken takes on that great unspoken American subject-class-and does so with frankness, acuity and surpassing feeling. DREAM HOUSE is a memorable debut novel from a fully mature talent.”
-- Peter Ho Davies
