- Synopsis
- “It’s brilliant, start to finish. The voice is an achievement, and the world of emotion he delivers. It’s solid-so solid it reminds me of a mature Hemingway. . . . It’s clear and deep and wise.” — Stewart O'Nan, author of Songs for the Missing, on RIGHT OF THIRST“One of the finest novels I’ve read in years. . . . Ultimately, this book is a timely, powerful exploration into the uses and limits of benevolence . . . an exploration into the limits of what’s good and decent in the American character.” — Ben Fountain, author of Brief Encounters with Che Guevara“Right of Thirst is a book to treasure. It is a riveting tale of our time, at once haunting and inspiring, provocative and insightful. It will stay with me for a long time.” — Tom Brokaw“Dr. Huyler’s writing is quiet, precise, spellbinding from beginning to end. . . . Easily holds with the best contemporary fiction.” — Abigail Zuger, New York Times“He writes in a surgical fashion—with precision and care, making no sudden metaphorical movements. Huyler’s protagonist resists easy answers or self-congratulatory axioms in examining the ethics of humanitarian intervention — The New Yorker“A book to treasure. It is a riveting tale of our time, at once haunting and inspiring, provocative and insightful. It will stay with me for a long time.” — Tom Brokaw“One of the finest novels I’ve read in years. . . . A timely, powerful exploration into the uses and limits of benevolence . . . the limits of what’s good and decent in the American character.” — Ben Fountain, author of Brief Encounters with Che Guevara“Brilliant, start to finish. . . . It’s clear and deep and wise, and very few contemporary novels can make that claim.” — Stewart O'Nan, author of Songs for the Missing“Lyrical, moving, gripping. . . . A dark, compelling story about moral ambition and its pitfalls-a necessary book for this moment in America’s imperial history.” — Andrew Solomon, author of the National Book Award-winning The Noonday Demon“Resonant. . . . vivid and compassionate. . . . A timely, disquieting reflection on mortality, war and the startling dichotomy between the affluent West and the impoverished Third World.” — Kirkus Reviews
