Popis knihy

Remarkable... Every page blooms with sensuous language and the book's mood is otherworldly, even if its setting, a wealthy college in the Northeast, isn't... These are characters in quiet crisis, burning, above all, to know themselves, and Kwon leads them, confidently, to an enthralling end. -Paris Review If you only read one book this summer, make it this complex and searing debut novel by R.O. Kwon. -Southern Living One of those slim novels that contains multitudes, R.O. Kwon's debut novel shows how unreliable we are as narrators when we're trying to invent - and reinvent - ourselves. -Vulture Kwon's prose is artfully crafted. It is spare and accessible, then, delightfully explosive in its literary tendencies, the music and the flourish. Kwon has a knack for setting stunning scenes that immerse us in a world familiar yet fractured: a watery memory that we want to stay and explore, understand. This is fantastic fiction, dripping with detail and nostalgia-experience translated poignantly, accessibly-scenes in this book are a dead-on dream... Images come alive, light burns through silver halide, and what we see on screen, on the page, in our minds, is as tangible and fleeting as a film frame.... Written with sparsity and flourish, a well-constructed narrative fractured and woven into cinematic scenes, populated with complex characters that demand our attention in exchange for access, The Incendiaries is at times reminiscent of a Haruki Murakami novel. Alongside Kwon's persistent, driven prose is a narrative of personal and interpersonal unraveling. Kwon cultivates a palpable emptiness, a space to feel the growing sense of loss that progressively saturates these pages. -The Rumpus This lyrical, haunting novel is a remarkable debut from Kwon, in which she shows with real lucidity the tangled ways in which passion slips into fanaticism, love into desperation, and faith into folly.-Nylon Mesmerizing. -Bustle R.O. Kwon's brilliant debut novel dives into the world of domestic terrorism, and the results prove that she's a writer to watch. -Paste Magazine Deeply engrossing. -PBS Books R.O. Kwon's debut novel is the rare marriage of sparkling, poetic prose and propulsive narrative.... Big ideas of God and faith are explored, but it's all grounded in the story of the relationship between two people, and how loss and vulnerability can be exploited by a persuasive religion. -Jezebel If there is a novel that goes to unexpected places, it's The Incendiaries by R.O. Kwon... Phenomenal. -Mashable The Incendiaries will make you dizzy with its powerful prose... its heartbreaking and gut-wrenching meditations on the extremes human beings will push themselves to when they lose the thing they love most will stick with you long after you finish. -PopSugar A powerful, darkly glittering novel... The Incendiaries is a fractured love story and a brilliant examination of the minds of extremist terrorists, and of what can happen to people who lose what they love most. -The Rumpus The Incendiaries is a God-haunted, willful, strange book written with a kind of savage elegance. I've said it before, but now I'll shout it from the rooftops: R. O. Kwon is the real deal. -Lauren Groff, author of Fates and Furies and Florida Every explosive requires a fuse. That's R. O. Kwon's novel, a straight, slow-burning fuse. To read her novel is to follow an inexorable flame coming closer and closer to the object it will detonate-the characters, the crime, the story, and, ultimately, the reader. -Viet Thanh Nguyen, author of The Sympathizer and The Refugees The Incendiaries probes the seductive and dangerous places to which we drift when loss unmoors us. In dazzlingly acrobatic prose, R. O. Kwon explores the lines between faith and fanaticism, passion and violence, the rational and the unknowable. -Celeste Ng, author of Little Fires Everywhere and Everything I Never Told You A swift, sensual nove
