Críticas
"Frank Huyler creates a thrilling drama out of a few well-chosen elements." * Harper's Magazine * "A fascinating and heartbreaking meditation on healing and motivation ... Even when there's nothing happening in this beautifully austere novel, Huyler provides readers with plenty to ponder." * Minneapolis Star Tribune * "Breathtakingly vivid...scrupulous and severe in its allegiance to truth-telling." * The Times Literary Supplement * "Resonant. . . . vivid and compassionate. . . . A timely, disquieting reflection on mortality, war and the startling dichotomy between the affluent West and the impoverished Third World." * Kirkus Reviews * "He writes in a surgical fashion-with precision and care, making no sudden metaphorical movements. Huyler's protagonist resists easy answers or self-congratulatory axioms in examining the ethics of humanitarian intervention." * The New Yorker * "Sturdy and evocative." * Publishers Weekly * "Dr. Huyler's writing is quiet, precise, spellbinding from beginning to end ... Easily holds with the best contemporary fiction." * The New York Times *
Reseña del editor
Reeling from his wife's death, cardiologist Charles Anderson is looking for meaning and purpose in his life. He volunteers to work as the doctor at a refugee camp, in a poverty-ridden Islamic country, set up to take the survivors of a devastating earthquake. But tensions rise to dangerous levels as bombs start to fall. Forced to continually re-evaluate his conceptions of what constitutes a good deed, Charles pushes himself ever further on his quest to do something morally unequivocal in a perilous and unforgiving land. A vivid and absorbing account of the limits of benevolence, Right of Thirst offers a subtle exploration of the clash between East and West, rich and poor, and the profound conflicts that divide the world, as well as the fundamental human qualities that unite us.
