'De Niro’s Game is the most subtly nuanced, psychologically
compelling book about the corrosive effects of war to have
been written for a long time...'
FT MAGAZINE
‘As if the TV screen suddenly dissolved and you found
yourself drawn inside the Lebanon war in all its
three dimensions. Vivid, dreamy prose. A fabulous book.’
LINDA GRANT, winner of The
Orange Prize
“De Niro’s Game is an unflinching and timely
look at the shattering of relationships in a war-torn world.”
GOVERNOR GENERAL'S LITERARY
AWARD JURY
“Camus on a motorbike . . . mixed in with all the
dirty treasure of existentialism — apathy, suicide,
absurdity, and loss — are warmth, hope, and sympathy.”
COLIN McADAM, author of
Some Great Thing
“De Niro’s Game is a feverish nightmare of a
book, written with a distinctly European flair . . . it
stubbornly refuses to offer the reader any easy comfort
. . . [readers] will be seduced by the undoubted visceral
power of this suddenly current narrative.”
