Before

• Andre Dubus III Before Joseph Hurka   Set in the lengthening shadows of the twentieth century and the stark sunlight of the twenty-first, Joseph Hurka brilliantly illuminates here not only our capacity to do one another great and lasting harm but also our innate desire to rise above the darkness with courage and grace and an enduring faith in what is truly possible in ourselves.

• Anita Shreve Before Joseph Hurka   Joe Hurka has given us a beautifully written novel that, rather astonishingly, manages to weave together memory, loss, youth, hope, and evil into a compelling story that spans generations. There are echoes upon echoes in this haunting tale.

• Peter Orner Before Joseph Hurka   A powerful and fearless novel about the violent histories people carry into exile--and the way memory continues to haunt, even after decades of peace. Intense, often frightening, ultimately redemptive.
