Reviews
"An unsettling look at intolerance and its logical end in violence." --The New York Times Book Review
"Starts rhapsodically and rewards the reader with so many moments of love and laughter--Wounded is full of shocks and surprises." --Los Angeles Times "While it's tempting to compare Wounded to something by Cormac McCarthy or Walter Van Tilburg Clark, in which a brutal landscape makes for brutal men, this book is more about men who resist such pressures with all the humanity they can muster." --Time Out Chicago, Top Ten Book of the Year
