The Weekend Vintage International

Praise for The Weekend“Schlink avoids the easy route of condemnation and salvation . . . The book’s real strength is the finely wrought dynamic among the characters, whose relationships and histories are fraught with a powerful sense of tension and possibly untoward potential.” —Publishers WeeklyPraise for The Reader“Arresting, philosophically elegant, morally complex . . . Schlink tells this story with marvelous directness and simplicity, his writing stripped bare of any of the standard gimmicks of dramatization.” —The New York Times “[A] beautiful, disturbing, and finally morally devastating novel. From the first page, The Reader ensnares both heart and mind.” —Los Angeles Times Praise for Homecoming“A beguilingly oblique novel . . . Despite its intricate, mazelike progression, Homecoming has surprising narrative thrust.” —The Economist “Sensitive and disturbing . . . The reader’s mind opens to the story like a plant unfurling its leaves to the sun.” —The New York Times Book Review Praise for Flights of Love“An outstanding collection.” —The Wall Street Journal “Intimate, smart, powerful . . . As memorable as The Reader . . . Dazzling.” —The Washington Post Book WorldFrom the Hardcover edition.
