The Incendiaries

Beschreibung

'This debut novel is absolutely electric, something new in the firmament. Everyone should read this book' Garth Greenwell, author of What Belongs to You 'The Incendiaries probes the seductive and dangerous places to which we drift when loss unmoors us. In dazzlingly acrobatic prose, R. O. Kwon explores the lines between faith and fanaticism, passion and violence, the rational and the unknowable' Celeste Ng, author of Little Fires Everywhere and Everything I Never Told You 'An impressive, assured debut about the hope for personal and political revolution and all the unexpected ways it flickers out. Kwon has vital things to say about the fraught times we live in' Jenny Offill, author of Dept. of Speculation 'Every explosive requires a fuse. That's R. O. Kwon's novel, a straight, slow-burning fuse. To read her novel is to follow an inexorable flame coming closer and closer to the object it will detonate--the characters, the crime, the story, and, ultimately, the reader' Viet Thanh Nguyen, author of The Sympathizer and The Refugees 'The Incendiaries is a God-haunted, willful, strange book written with a kind of savage elegance. I've said it before, but now I'll shout it from the rooftops: R. O. Kwon is the real deal' Lauren Groff, author of Fates and Furies and Florida
