Recensione:
“Extraordinary . . . Aslam has created a novel which–grave yet exultant, brutal but compassionate–achieves its complex humanity, and its final affirmations of love and beauty, through a real reckoning with despair and heartbreak.”–Pankaj Mishra, New York Review of Books
“Aslam is a rich and vividly metaphorical writer . . . This is an exquisitely sad novel, and it is worth the effort of letting its spell take you over.”–Newsday
“Poetic, sensuous, precisely descriptive and lavishly allusive prose . . . Maps for Lost Lovers not only an important and memorable achievement, but a book that is deeply satisfying to read.”–The Washington Times
“Aslam manages an impressive feat: His prose is stylistically dazzling, full of poetic, richly descriptive and tender passages . . . His characters’ inner lives are explored in-depth, flaws and all . . . A novel as affecting as it is provocative.”–Los Angeles Times Book Review
“Aslam reveals–artfully and heartbreakingly–a psychology at war with itself . . . His prose is richly atmospheric, his tone engagingly introspective.”–Akash Kapur, The New York Times Book Review
“A writer’s tour de force . . . teeming with poetical descriptions and lapidary prose. [And] unlike so many literary novelists working today, Aslam actually has a story to tell, a powerful one.”–San Francisco Chronicle
“[An] exquisitely crafted, lushly written novel . . . Aslam combines sensual prose with a compelling storyline.”–Booklist
“Poignant, lushly written . . . a truthful story that resists easy conclusions.”–Publishers Weekly
