Niko: The MRB Spotlight
The Spring 2011 issue of the Montreal Review of Books contains an insightful look at Niko and its long gestation from idea to published novel. In it, Eric Boodman writes, "The pleasure of reading Niko comes from more than just its fast pace. In this novel, Nasrallah has created complete worlds that you carry around in your head after you put the book down, worlds to which you want to return. What makes these settings so enticing is the way they are built up around the characters. ...we are in the hands of a master storyteller."
