Media reviews

Praise for Black Dogs:
“A terrifyingly beautiful political allegory in the form of a sublimely readable novel.”
—Ottawa Citizen

“Black Dogs claws at us with images and phrases that seize the eye and mind … [it] continues [McEwan’s] career trajectory from young purveyor of psychological shock to adroit painter of political and moral grimness.”
—Philadelphia Inquirer

“Masterful and moving.… It is a story of the fragile nobility of the human spirit in the face of the irrational, the terrible and the miraculous.”
—The Washington Post

“McEwan has constructed an intricate puzzle, piecing together the need for both social action and spiritual contemplation, and passions of lovers and misunderstandings of families … Beautifully written and absorbing … a wonderful novel.”
—Los Angeles Reader
