The End Bewertungen

"Scibona loves language and recognizes the power of using the right word. He seems better educated than most American writers, with a strong vocabulary and rich ideas that urge him to build complex sentences.... To the reader's enrichment, The End is an outstanding work in all the right ways" -- Annie Proulx * Guardian *
"Scibona is a gutsy, heart-and-soul writer, unafraid of emotion and ready to take risks" -- Rosemary Goring * Herald *
"It may have taken a while for Scibona to get to this side of the Atlantic, but The End suggests this is the beginning of a fascinating career from an important new American voice" -- Stuart Evers * Daily Telegraph *
"This is an extraordinary novel about the experience of immigration; unsentimental and beautifully written" -- Kate Saunders * The Times *
"Its moments of sharply realised emotional pull and gentle beauty reel you in" * Metro *
