"Wonderful stories that snarl and pant across our crazed world ... An extraordinary performance. Nam Le is a heartbreaker, not easily forgotten." Junot Díaz, Author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
"[Cartagena:] is a gripping, intricately woven piece of crime fiction...Psychological insight is a hallmark of Le's work, but he also has a facility for a kind of dark humour...Le uses carefully imagined details to conjure up distant worlds and individuals...Stories like [The Boat:] desmonstrate Le's ability to use sensory experiences to evoke the most distant situations and show that he has a considerable talent."
