[Alarcns] tales, set largely in the hardscrabble world of Lima, build with all the power of a Flannery OConnor story: a gentle enough start, an innocent setting, and before long the reader is adrift in a drama that defies the imaginationwith characters that live long after the book is closed.Washington Post Book World In this exquisite story collection, Daniel Alarcn moves from Third World urban centers to the fault lines that divide nations and people to illuminate wars, both national and internal, waged in jungles, across the borders, in the streets of Lima, and in the intimacy of New York apartments. He tells of lives at the margins: an unrepentant terrorist remembers where it all began, a would-be emigrant contemplates the ramifications of leaving and never coming back, a reporter turns in his pad and pencil for the inglorious costume of a street clown. War by Candlelight is a devastating portrait of a world in flux from an extraordinary new voice in literary fiction, one you will not soon forget.
