Críticas

Praise for "In War Times"
One of "Publishers Weekly"'s Best Books of 2007
The American Library Association's Best Genre Novel of the Year

"A complex...thoughtful and often dazzling journey through worlds that might, and perhaps should, have been."
"--Kirkus Reviews", starred review

"[Goonan] can take all the credit for a narrative that has hardly a single flaw of pacing, setting, or characterization, and will be intelligible, not to say fascinating, to readers far beyond the ranks of World War II buffs. An authentic classic."

"While "This Shared Dream" is plenty exciting and expertly paced, there's a quietness, a gentleness, throughout. Its characters talk far more than they act. They aren't just action figures; they're real people, damaged yet striving, and we come to care deeply about them. Such is the power of art -- the real, not imaginary, empathy-creating device. Living up to its title, "This Shared Dream" is ultimately a novel about connectedness, in every sense, and the possibility of greater harmony in what used to be called the family of man. Little wonder that Goonan's overarching metaphor for earthly felicity is improvisational jazz, the true music of the spheres."
