Críticas:

I love that fiction such as this can make you experience so intensely those great subjects with which your real-life familiarity is so very slight (GUARDIAN)

In these shoots of individual compassion lie the reason Englander always wanted to write this book, and the reason you might wish to read it: hope. (SUNDAY TIMES)

Political thriller, absurdist farce, globetrotting romance: multiple forms jostle in a beautifully written take on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (MAIL ON SUNDAY)

Nathan Englander's latest is, as usual, superb: a work of psychological precision and moral force, with an immediacy that captures both timeless human truth as well as the perplexities of the present day (Colson Whitehead, author of THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD)

In Englander's hands, storytelling is a transformative act. Put him alongside Singer, Carver, and Munro. Englander is, quite simply, one of the very best we have

(Colum McCann)

Z can do nothing but think of the past and where her life went wrong, revealed to the reader in a series of often gripping flashbacks (DAILY MAIL)

Englander tells the tangled truth of life in prose that, as ever, surprises the reader with its gnarled beauty (Michael Chabon)

Nathan Englander's fiction [is] always animated by a deep, vibrant core of historical resonance

(Jennifer Egan)

The depth of Englander's feeling is the thing that separates him from just about everyone. You can hear his heart thumping feverishly on every page (Dave Eggers)

Nathan Englander is one of those rare writers who, like Faulkner, manages to make his seemingly obsessive, insular concerns all the more universal for their specificity

(Richard Russo)

Reseña del editor:

'One of our most consistently brilliant, bold and funny writers' Dave Eggers
'His writing is liberal in every good sense of the word' Jonathan Franzen

A spellbinding thriller. A spy novel. A love story . . .

Prisoner Z, held at a black site in the Negev desert for a dozen years, has only his guard for company. How does a nice American Jewish boy from Long Island wind up an Israeli spy working for Mossad, and later, a traitor to his adopted country? What does it mean to be loyal? And what does it mean to be a traitor when the ideals you cherish are betrayed by the country you love?

'Englander is a wonderfully gifted writer' The Times
'One of the great voices of our time' Gary Shteyngart
