A coherent, timely, and fascinating examination of a grieving America's relationship with itself. Waldman...excels at involving the reader in vibrant dialogues in which the level of the debate is high and the consequences significant.
-- "Washington Post"A gorgeously written novel of ideas...The Submission is sure to generate a lot of discussion in book clubs across the land.
-- "NPR"The Submission reads as if the author had embraced Tom Wolfe's famous call for a new social realism...and in doing so has come up with a story that has more verisimilitude, more political resonance, and way more heart than Mr. Wolfe's own 1987 bestseller, The Bonfire of the Vanities.
-- "New York Times Book Review"Waldman addresses with a refreshing frankness thorny moral questions and ethical ironies without resorting to breathless hyperbole.
-- "Publishers Weekly"Poised and commanding...A stellar debut. Waldman's book reflects a much-needed understanding of American paranoia in the post-9/11 world.
-- "Kirkus Reviews"Addictively readable...Not unlike The Wire's David Simon...Waldman has an eye for the less sound bite-worthy but crucial ways in which ideology and influence make their imprint on the world.
-- "Vogue"Gripping, deeply intelligent...Panoramic in scope but thrillingly light on its feet...[A] dazzling tapestry of a grieving city.
-- "Marie Claire"A masterful debut...Waldman unspools her story with the truth-bound grit of a seasoned journalist and the elegance of a born novelist.
-- "Entertainment Weekly"Selected for a jury that must choose an appropriate memorial for September 11 victims, Claire Burwell struggles to navigate a media firestorm when the winning designer is revealed as an enigmatic Muslim-American.
