Fiction

Set in a Georgetown hospital, Across the River gets right to the heart. Orem has a

keen sense of detail and a rare combination

of empathy and equanimity with regard to

his characters. The result is an honest and powerful work.

A suicide who has time to regret his act . . . the psychology of brain surgeons . . . a college student's first encounter with blood . . .

Reader Beware: Killer of Crying Deer is not a beach read. It is a serious novel, maybe even an important one, in the tradition of Moby Dick, Heart of Darkness, and The Red Badge of Courage.

It is far and away the best work of fiction ever written about Haiti,

during this period, by a non-Haitian.
