PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Philip Gourevitch is a long-time staff writer at the New Yorker and a former editor of the Paris Review. He is the author of Standard Operating Procedure/The Ballad of Abu Ghraib, A Cold Case and We Wish To Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families, which won numerous honours, including the National Book Critics Circle Award, and was counted by the Guardian as being among the 100 best non-fiction books of all time.
PRAISE FOR WE WISH TO INFORM YOU THAT TOMORROW WE WILL BE KILLED WITH OUR FAMILIES: * - * This soul-searching, painfully lyrical book rises above its grisly subject. * Evening Standard * Magnificent, terrifying ... Gourevitch's account is factual, unemotional - and utterly gut-wrenching. * Irish Times * Philip Gourevitch has written the book which is the key to these dramatic and terrifying events ... Should be compulsory reading for all UN officials involved in peace-keeping operations and humanitarian aid, from the Secretary General on down. * Guardian * [It is the] sobering voice of witness that Gourevitch has vividly captured in his work. -- Wole Soyinka * New York Times Book Review * [Gourevitch] has the mind of a scholar along with the observative capacity of a good novelist, and he writes like an angel. I think there is no limit to what we may expect from him. -- Robert Stone A sparkling jewel that shone no matter what angle you looked at it from. -- Amanda Foreman
