Praise
“His most welcoming work, possibly his best book . . . part novel and part stories, virtuoso historical remembrance and focused study of violence.”
– The New York Times Book Review
“A jarring, haunting, absurdly ambitious symphony of a book . . . It has an emotional force capable of ripping almost any reader from his moorings. . . . Vollmann has done as much as anyone in recent memory to return moral seriousness to American fiction.”
– Steve Kettmann, San Francisco Chronicle
“Resembles War and Peace not merely in its scope, but in its perception of history as a determining force that individual lives merely illustrate . . . Aspires to the highest possible potential of literature.”
– Melvin Jules Bukiet, Los Angeles Times
“A grimly magnificent dramatization of the impossible moral choices forced on individuals by these totalitarian regimes . . . if you have been following Vollmann’s extraordinary career, Europe Central may be his best novel ever.”
– Steven Moore, The Washington Post
“Profound . . . Vollmann asks us to put aside what we think we know of history and immerse ourselves in it once again.”
- John Freeman, The Boston Globe
