Frank Huyler - Right of Thirst. (Engelstalig)
In this haunting, resonant tour de force, an American doctor's search for redemption lands him halfway across the world on a relief mission that goes horribly awry.
Shattered by his wifes death and his own role in it, successful 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.
A grieving doctor seeks redemption as a foreign relief worker—only to be caught in the fog of war—in this “vivid and compassionate” novel. - Kirkus -
RIGHT OF THIRST is one of the finest novels I've read in years. The strange, difficult country to which FRANK HUYLER takes us - never named, though wonderfully evoked in HUYLER's note-perfect prose - puts his characters to physical and moral tests that challenge their fundamental notions of love, loyalty, justice, and self. - ben Fountain, autor of Brief Encounters with Che Guevara -
This haunting, resonant tour de force about one man’s desire to live a moral life offers a moving exploration of the tensions between poverty and wealth, the ethics of intervention, the deep cultural differences that divide the world, and the essential human similarities that unite it.
FRANK HUYLER is a young writer with a big mind - and an even bigger heart. - Paul Auster -
