Washington Post // Review of Compass by Mathias Énard
My review of Compass by Mathias Énard ran in the Washington Post on 4/3/17.
“It’s a novel that looks closely at the intersections — historical, personal and, most of all, musical — between East and West. It also provides another welcome look at the kinships that bind the Middle East to Europe. In doing so, “Compass” reminds us that these are not static places, but in fact dynamic combinations of cultures and traditions.”
