Book Synopsis"If you can read [
God’s Fool] without being astonished and touched, then you’d better check to see if your heart is made of stone…simply brilliant. A book of the year." —
Dallas Morning NewsTrade Review"Exceptionally beautiful…the power of language and of reflection on the nature of connection is…essential, and compelling." -- Washington Post Book World
"Slouka writes with the bare-bones ferocity of Jerzy Kosinski and the visual intensity of John Updike." -- Boston Herald

"A poetic rumination on love and family…We are constantly moved to tears by Slouka's spare and heart-breaking novel." -- Anniston Star
"Exceptional…fascinating…powerful." -- Library Journal
"A gifted stylist." -- Publishers Weekly
"With this sprawling, beautiful novel that touches on everything from slavery to the shadows of unremembered memory, Chang and Eng have inspired another winner." -- Booklist
