The humor in this first novel is nothing to laugh at. Though you’re not really supposed to get that until you’re nearly done.
That’s because in the meantime you’ll be too busy snickering.(Read the review)

| Profound, delightful storytelling that will make you hunger for more. Soffer is one of the most gifted writers I've yet to come across. A brilliant debut. Do yourself a favor, read it now. | |

| One of the best books I've read this year. This novel delivers in every way. Gritty, gothic, one-part Cormac McCarthy with a dash of Toni Morrison, but wholly original. Loved it. | |

“In this funny debut, flashy Filipino fashion designer Boy Hernandez sees his American dream become a nightmare when he’s ensnared in a terrorist plot and shipped to Guantanamo. Gilvarry nails the couture scene, but Boy’s rough journey from Manolo to Gitmo is no joke.”
― Andrew Abrahams

“From the Memoirs of a Non-enemy Combatant is sharply written and wryly witty, touching on the sensitivities and paranoia of post-9/11 America... Combining a Kafkaesque hero with a captivating “coming to New York” story, Gilvarry’s debut is a timely and touching triumph.”

Woah woah woah! Thank you so much, Christina. I'd like to write a Swedish thriller next, I could be good at that. Plus I've never read one. But it'll probably just be about me again.
