Aleksandar Hemon, Nowhere Man, ÒNow here's reason to get excited: a true work of art that's as vast and mysterious as life itself. Hemon, in just two books, and in just two years, has quickly become essential in the way that, say, Nabokov is essential. The Nabokov comparison is not a facile oneÉ This tender, devastating book is evidence indeed that Hemon is a writer of rare artistry and depth.Ó --Adrienne Miller, Esquire ÒThe bottom line is that Hemon canÕt write a boring sentence, and the English language is the better for itÉ Antic and ingenious.Ó --Gary Shteyngart, New York Times Book Review Ò

[With The Question of Bruno] Hemon proved himself as inventive a writer as Nabokov or Salman Rushdie. He seemed, in other words, to possess the kind of bold talent that doesn't come around very often. And in his follow-up book, Hemon again displays his prodigious gifts--nearly every sentence of this novel is infused with energy and witÉ A true original.Ó --Los Angeles Times ÒAnd then there's Hemon's writing, the way he wrenches English words into previously unknown yet alarmingly fitting configurationsÉ Reading him is like watching a documentary about someone you know intimately and witnessing that person transformed by the attention into something rich and strange -- only with Hemon it's the humble texture of the everyday life that's transfigured by his scrutiny. You don't realize how much you cherish it until it's lost, or perhaps until someone who's lost it makes you understand just how dear it really is.Ó -- Laura Miller, Salon.com ÒAleksandar Hemon is the reason I do not believe in religion. If there is a God, then he is a capricious, unjust god for allowing such a concentration of talent in a single writer. But then, after reading a couple of pages of Nowhere Man, one might decide to worship Hemon himself and bypass traditional, trivial deities.Ó --A Clean Well-Lighted Place for Books, San Francisco
