Reviews
“Somber, delicate, and startlingly empathetic.” — John Updike “One of the best historical novels by anyone, ever.” — David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas and The Bone Clocks “I think about Silence, and Endo’s work more generally, all the time.” — Phil Klay, author of Redeployment and Winner of the 2014 National Book Award “Silence was in the back of my mind the whole time I was working [on Boxers & Saints]. When I got stuck, I would close my eyes and ask for Endo’s intercession.” — Gene Luen Yang, MacArthur Fellow and author of Boxers & Saints “All of Endo’s work has been influential. He truly understands what it means to be both of–and not of–a place.” — Caryl Phillips, Guggenheim Fellow and award-winning author of The Lost Child, Endo was a Catholic, but you don’t have to be one to find the novel really thought-provoking, and moving, and involving. It’s a great book. It’s a great historical novel….The characters are complex, and multi-layered, and flawed. Their motives are messy and tangled, like our motives are messy and tangled. It’s a great achievement, and I love the book., “Thought-provoking and moving…Complex and multilayered…[ Silence ] is a great achievement, and I love the book.”–David Mitchell, author of The Bone Clocks and Cloud Atlas
