TATJANA SOLI

07/31/2010 2:00 pm
Along with the deserved attention presently going to Karl Marlantes' Matterhorn, considerable acclaim and word-of-mouth is going to another powerful debut novel set in Vietnam during the war there, Tatjana Soli's The Lotus Eaters (St. Martin's). "Set amid the infernos of Cambodia and Vietnam in the early 1970s, The Lotus Eaters draws the reader into a haunting world of war, betrayal, courage, obsession, and love. Tatjana Soli's spare, lucid prose makes us eyewitnesses to the collapse of two civilizations. More than that, The Lotus Eaters helps us to see and hear and feel the terrible human costs of that conflagration." - Tim O'Brien, joined by Robert Stone, Richard Russo, and others in early praise. "The very steam from Vietnam's jungles seems to rise from the pages of this tremendously evocative debut ... A beautiful book." - Janice Y.K. Lee.
