Winslow's Narco-epic spans several decades of the "War Against Drugs." It's gripping and brutal and an indictment of the USA's drug policy. Most of the novel - from characters to events - are based on reality, fictionalizing the harrowing back and forth between exasperated law enforcement and highly advanced and brutal drug cartels. "Power of the Dog" will keep you reading late into the night.
Wiley Cash's second novel is a worthy successor to his excellent first novel, A Land More Kind Than Home. This outing is a straight-ahead mystery involving two young sisters, one wise beyond her years, their ne'er do well father and a couple of really bad men. Cash is a great storyteller and reading him is a true pleasure.
A stunning debut pioneering in its accurate portrayal of a first generation Chinese immigrant family (refreshingly free of stereotypes) and the pressure of the expectations, both societal and familial, forced upon them in a contradiction of identity. Within the first page, I was drawn to Fu's lyrical writing and vibrant characters that gradually intertwined with quiet brilliance and wit.Fu explores the debacle of what life is when constricted to a suffocating outlook of self-denial - what are we willing to sacrifice and suffer though in order for a few sparing moments of authenticity and the happiness it brings? Is complacency all we can accept when faced with overwhelming fear?All in all, an essential and engrossing read from an author whose further works I will be keeping an eye out for.
