Advance Praise for Deni Ellis Béchard’s Into the Sun

“Ambitious, elegant, and filled with a kind of ferocious intelligence.”

— Roxana Robinson, author of Sparta

“An intimate portrait of people willing to die for their hungers, consumed by the romance of being narrators and saviors. As they try to find their outermost edges, every act is contemplated, every cruelty somehow unavoidable, and everyone destroyed by what they seek in a land where foreigners are thrilled to be hunted and only natives long to escape. We wake from this book as witnesses to Kabul, to America, and to the crimes of men who need destruction to find definition and women desperate to understand.”

— Benjamin Busch, author of Dust to Dust

“A riveting mystery-thriller that also probes deeper into the nature of war and the ways in which it attracts and transforms some people.”

— David Abrams, author of Fobbit

Praise for Vandal Love

“Béchard has reinvented the generational novel with innovative brilliance.”

— Robert Olen Butler

“Reminiscent of Proulx and Doctorow in both sweep and grace of prose.”

— Dagoberto Gilb

“The word ‘masterpiece’ is not to be used lightly, but one is tempted in the case of Vandal Love. . . . Its muscular use of language conjures a young Faulkner, García Márquez, or Steinbeck.”

— Katherine Min

“Prose that’s both lyrical and gritty, able to evoke big emotions with exquisite intimacy.”

— O, The Oprah Magazine

“Masterful storytelling and heartbreakingly beautiful writing.”

— Loung Ung
