| adam_text | The author of Maps for Lost Lovers gives us a
new novel
—
at once lyrical and blistering
—
about war in our time, told through the lives of five
people who come together in post-9/11 Afghanistan.
Marcus, an English doctor whose progressive,
outspoken Afghani wife was murdered by the Ta¬
liban, opens his home
—
itself an eerily beautiful
monument to his losses
—
to the others: Lara, from
St. Petersburg, looking for evidence of her soldier
brother who disappeared decades before during the
Soviet invasion; David, an American, a former spy
who has seen his ideals turned inside out during
his twenty-five years in Afghanistan;
Casa, a
young
Afghani whose hatred of the West plunges him into
the depths of zealotry; and fames, the Special Forces
soldier in whom David sees a dangerous revival of
the unquestioning notions of right and wrong that
he himself once held.
In mesmerizing prose, Nadeem Aslam reveals the
complex ties
—
of love and desperation, pain and sal¬
vation, madness and clarity
—
that bind the charac¬
ters. And through their stories he creates a timely
and achingly intimate portrait of the continuation
of wars that shapes our world.
In its radiant language, its depth of feeling, and its
unflinching drama. The Wasted Vigil is a luminous
work of fiction.
