Gods Without Men
Autor Hari Kunzruen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 iul 2012
In the Californian desert . . .
A four-year-old boy goes missing.
A British rock star goes quietly mad.
An alien-worshipping cult is born.
An Iraqi teenager takes part in a war game.
In a remote town, near a rock formation known as The Pinnacles, lives intertwine, stories echo, and the universal search for meaning and connection continues.
'Kunzru's great American novel'Independent
'Readers speak of it in hushed tones as conveying the secrets of the universe'Newsday
'Extraordinary, smart, innovative, a revelation. Has the counterculture feel of a late-1960s US campus hit - something by Vonnegut or Pynchon or Wolfe. Genuinely interesting and exhilarating. Extremely enjoyable'Guardian
'Astonishing, mind-blowing. One of the most original novels I've read in years'Counterpunch
'One of the most socially observant and skilful novelists around. Consistently gripping and entertaining'Literary Review
'A great sprawling narrative, as vast as the canvas on which it is written'Washington Post
'Reverberates long after you finish reading it'New Yorker

The literary skills of Hari Kunzru are evident throughout this complex and disturbing novel . . . beautifully constructed sentences . . . A brilliant crossover literary feat . . . Careful readers will find Kunzru himself is something of a trickster
Consistently atmospheric . . . Richly detailed . . . For all the wit, this is a dark portrait of modern morals . . . Kunzru tenderly teases out the humanity, to powerful emotional effect
Psychological acuity, a wonderful linguistic precision and the ability to make beautiful accordance between form and content via thoughtful narrative experiment.Gods without Menis a step further along the road towards the full realisation of Kunzru's early promise. It makes undeniable the claim that he is one of our most important novelists . . . As large and cruel and real as life . . . Never less than entertaining
With each novel, Hari Kunzru is proving himself a subtler and more ingenious writer . . . his most ambitious work yet
Gods Without Menis a dazed, erudite and unforgettable novel
Kunzru's gift for satire remains undimmed . . . Kunzru has already established himself as one of the most socially observant and skilful novelists around. In Gods Without Men, he has raised his game still further, creating a mature, intricately balanced fiction that is consistently gripping and entertaining
A funny, beautifully observed novel that raises big questions about how far events and people, past and present, are connected. But for all the big ideas, it is also surprisingly moving
Dizzying scope . . . It is a testament to Kunzru's ability as a writer thatGods Without Menpresents so many characters sketched so vividly
Kunzru's gift for the plain craft of prose, [and the wilful idiosyncrasy that] has shaped this sprawling, multi-stranded novel
Involving, thoughtful and thoroughly entertaining
Hugely entertaining . . . A warm and well-travelled intelligence . . . Heartwarming
His biggest, most ambitious and most engaging novel to date
Ambitiously eclectic . . . smartly sharp social detail, high-fidelity dialogue, vivid evocation of place . . . ironic wit and exuberant guyings of paranormal gobbledegook
Fuelled by an energetic intelligence. Along with a love of big ideas came narrative zest, verbal and comic flair, and an acute eye for contemporary mores both East and West . . .Gods with Menmarks another new and bold departure . . . This really is Kunru's great American novel . . . Compulsively readable, skilfully orchestrated, Kunzru's American odyssey brings a new note into his underlying preoccupation with human identity'
Being able to create a vivid sense of place is one of the hallmarks of a quality literary writer, but few could have done so as brilliantly as Hari Kunzru in his latest novelGods without Men
Intensely involving . . .Gods Without Menis one of the best novels of the year
