Waiting for Eden by Elliot Ackerman
"Compelling novel that I could not put down. Hemingway like prose captures moments & situations. I will read his other novels & his autobiography. "
Halcyon by Elliot Ackerman
"I’m wondering how I’d missed the author until now. This clever and well-written story is filled with “what if“ scenarios that leave one considering the tiny details of circumstance that shape our lives. "
Elliot Ackerman and 2 other people liked Dana's review of Halcyon:
Halcyon by Elliot Ackerman
"“‘You can correct the past,’ said Susan. ‘That's what my daughter believes. You're a historian; that should make sense to you.’

And it made perfect sense, except I wasn't the type of historian who believed the past could or should be corrected.”

Elliot Ackerman , Dark at the Crossing

“The militants fought to protect us from the Americans and the Americans fought to protect us from the militants, and being so protected, life was very dangerous.”
Elliot Ackerman, Green on Blue

Elliot Ackerman, Green on Blue

“Politics,” he says, “can be defined as the acquisition or maintenance of power. You can do this in two ways: by either dividing people or uniting them. Uniting people is very difficult,” he explains, “but dividing them is far easier.”
Elliot Ackerman, Istanbul Letters
