Reviews
Murphy artfully connects multiple narratives to produce a sprawling tale of love, family, duty, war, and displacement. It is above all a stinging indictment of the ill-fated war in Iraq and the heavy tolls it continues to exact on its people.Khaled Hosseini
Captivating . . . Correspondents is an expansive, multigenerational epic, rich in empathy and insight.National
Its precision, depth and empathy are all from someone who has created a powerful voice in many respects because of his sexuality . . . He’s not just a gay writer. He’s a super gay writer . . . [An] emotionally resonant, time-hopping page turner . . . driven by a gripping plot.Huffington Post
Correspondents is the novel I’ve been hoping would emerge for a long time. Some might classify it as an American epic, or an epic of the 9/11-Wars, or even a Middle Eastern epic; however, like all great art it asserts our shared humanity across categorizations. So, ultimately, the story of Rita and Nabil transcends categorization itself to become a human epic, one you won’t soon forget.Elliot Ackerman
