Stuart Evers, - Daily Telegraph 'It's the most memorable new novel I have read all year - the voice pitch-perfect, the imagery indelible. What a wonderful writer' - Norman Lebrecht 'Halfon's English language debut is a glorious new addition to those decidedly non-fiction-ish works of fiction that keep getting us all worked-up these days...the result is a brave and touching and dead stylish examination of the nature of fiction, truth and lies nowadays..' - Dazed and Confused '[Halfon] willfully and delightfully blurs the boundaries among novel, memoir and meditation...the power of The Polish Boxer is that it is always rooted in the personal. It is deeply accessible, deeply moving' - LA Times It is not often that one encounters such a mix of personal engagement and literary passion, of pain and tenderness' - Andres Neuman, author of Traveller of the Century 'We cannot resist following the author/narrator by thinking of possible ways of deceiving him in return in a fascinating thriller. This is a stimulating and inspiring read.' - Emilia Ippolito, Independent 'The Polish boxer? There may never have been one. Yet this in no way diminishes the pleasure Halfon's myriad stories afford.' -New York Times Listed Book of the Year 2012 by LA Times Eduardo Halfon was born in Guatemala and now lives in Nebraska.
