The Warlord’s Son

My latest full-length review was actually posted yesterday at January Magazine, but it escaped my notice till today. I was introduced to Dan Fesperman’s work in a big way last year and the love affair continues with THE WARLORD’S SON, which is out now in the UK (though the US release, from Knopf, won’t appear till mid-September.) While his earlier novels dealt with the Balkan War and its aftermath, with this new book he turns to Afghanistan in a post-⁹⁄₁₁ world, and boy, does he deliver.
