Description: "A reflection and an embodiment of our new world of flattened time and space. . . . Gorgeous and wise." -Douglas Coupland, The New York Times Book Review "A beautifully written echo chamber of a novel." -David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas "A gripping thriller . . . Kunzru uses his extraordinary gifts as a storyteller-his brightly textured prose, his empathetic understanding of his characters, his narrative flair-to turn a tabloidy tale into a genuinely moving portrait of a marriage and the difficulties of parenthood." -Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Kunzru is wise beyond his years, [a] novelist in superb command of his craft. . . . In his dazzling new novel, a desert is the setting, hero and villain. . . . Here is where the walking wounded come to pray to Yahweh, Allah, Vishnu, Coyote, the Brothers of Light. Here are cynical veterans from WWII, hard-bitten GIs fresh from Iraq, randy communards, washed-up bankers, wasted groupies. Here is death, sex, and rock-and-roll." -Marie Arana, The Washington Post "A stunning achievement. . . . Gods Without Men will undoubtedly prove to be one of the most important works of fiction published this year." -Darren Richard Carlaw, The New York Journal of Books "Kunzru weaves an array of competing stories, turning the novel into a kaleidoscope of clashing perspectives. . . . Gods Without Men stands out as a courageous attempt to engage with the complexities of faith and doubt in our postmodern world." -James Miller, The New York Observer "[A] pitch-perfect masterwork." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "An astonishing tour de force." - Kirkus (starred review) "Gathers momentum, power, and a fierce clarify to deliver a rich panorama while detailing our mutual antagonisms and deepest spiritual needs . . . Extraordinary." - Library Journal (starred review) "Mind-bending [a] thrill ride of a novel about searching for truth." -Michele Filgate, O, The Oprah Magazine "A compelling exploration of cosmic-American weirdness." -Rob Brunner, Entertainment Weekly "The prose is beautiful, every character is fully developed Through devotion to careful diction and seamless fluctuation between a dozen different writing voices, Kunzru's novel shines as brightly as the desert's setting sun" -Christine A. Hurd, The Harvard Crimson "Kunzru delivers a lively and frequently thrilling version of the quest novel." - Booklist (starred review) "Compulsively readable, skillfully orchestrated . . . This really is Kunzru's great American novel." - The Independent "Sometimes dizzying, sometimes puzzling, always enjoyable, Gods Without Men is one of the best novels of the year." - The Daily Telegraph "The literary skills of Hari Kunzru are evident throughout this complex and disturbing novel." -Annie Proulx, Financial Times "A countercultural mind-expanding quest . . . As a virtuoso performance, changing gears and styles every 20 pages or so, encompassing 18th-century friars and Hoxton hipsters, it will appeal to fans of David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas . . . Extraordinary." - The Guardian "Kunzru's lively fourth novel tackles its big themes without ever becoming ponderous or heavy-going. . . . Involving, thoughtful and thoroughly entertaining." - Daily Mail
