A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"Not Untrue and Not Unkind is a book that far transcends the usual literary efforts of the former combat reporter. It stands as an elegy not only for Simmons's band of colleagues but for a golden era of journalism." -- New York Times Book Review, Editor's Choice

¦A fine, darkly authoritative novel.¦ ïJoseph O'Neill

¦It¦s a dark and expertly told soap operaè it¦s an astonishingly powerful and accomplished debut novel written with great authorityè This atmospheric book authentically carries the sounds and flavors of a Graham Greene novel, reading at times like a memoir with the seamless underbelly of a gritty Hemingwayesque taleè Buy, steal, or borrow this book. Whatever you do, read it.¦ -- Sam Millar, New York Journal of Books

¦O¦Loughlin, a former editor and war correspondent, writes fiction with a stoic lyricism evoking mordant war-weariness and the eerie hollow left behind once the rush of adrenaline runs out.¦ VogueDaily (Ten Summer Must-Reads)

¦One of the most powerful debut Irish novels of the last decade.¦ ïSunday Business Post

¦Passionate, colorful ... love story and tragedy, mystery and professional satire (a la Evelyn Waugh's Scoop) all rolled into one.¦ ïIrish Times

¦[O¦Loughlin] makes readers see the storytellers as they describe the unimaginable.¦ -- ForeWord Magazine

¦Not Untrue & Not Unkind is a profound look back into Africa as the continent implodes with violence.¦ -- Midwest Book Review

¦Like many foreign correspondents, O¦Loughlin has yielded to the compulsion to sum up his experiences; unlike many, his skills prove up to the task...Not Untrue & Not Unkind is a near-total success, combining a gripping narrative, a consistent voice, and a dark, professional grace. I highly recommend a trip to your local bookstore for it.¦ -- The Brown Tweed Society Blog

¦An impressive achievement for a first novelèthe story is intriguing, the prose beautifully constructed and Ed O¦Loughlin kept me riveted until the end.¦ -- BookSexy Review
