Praise for Naeem Murr :
'[Murr's] prose bursts into flower, taking us straight to the passionate heart of his characters. Words and phrases take on an almost translucent elasticity, stretching to encompass new ideas, giving scenes a compelling visual wholeness and suggesting real complexity.' Independant on Sunday
'I intently turned the pages - carried along by Murr's dark energy, his sharply intelligent prose, his genius for the unexpected, his keen sense of atmosphere. And the novel's harrowing conclusion more than demonstrates [his] stunning gifts.' New York Times
'Like Margaret Atwood, Murr traffics in images so capably that the novel's space becomes a kind of magnetic field... Like the abandoned buildings that are its backdrop, The Boy makes it hard for readers to walk away unhaunted.' Washington Post
'Naemm Murr has a hideously beautiful imagination and a wholly original talent' Mary Gaitskill
