{"product_id":"point-of-no-return-andre-vltchek-9780977459070","title":"Point of No Return","description":"POINT OF NO RETURN shows the world through the eyes of a war correspondent, working in conflict zones avoided by the mainstream media, unveiling the dire state of today's world, its disparities and brutal post-colonial arrangement - including the imperialist push for Western hegemony. \"Point of No Return is one of the great novels of the 21st century. It deserves a wide readership and serious critical appraisal. Over a half century ago, in his important book \"American Moderns - From Rebellion to Conformity,\" the great literary critic Maxwell Geismar noted that \"Our best literary work has come from writers who are outside  the dominant] intellectual orbit, where  capitalist] panic has slowly subsided into inertia.\" Geismar anticipates Vltchek. Point of No Return explodes from that vital realm far beyond hegemonic control.\" - Tony Christini \"Point of No Return is riveting.\" - Paulin Cesari (Le Figaro) \"Andr  Vltchek is a writer, the real thing, of the same calibre and breed as Hemingway and Malraux.\" - Catherine Merveilleux \"Andre Vltchek tells us about a world that few know, even when they think they do. That is because he tells the truth, vividly, with a keen sense of history, and with a perceptive eye that sees past surfaces to reality...\" - Noam Chomsky \"This gripping novel blends fiction and autobiography; it reflects the experience of the author as a war correspondent while drawing the portrait of a globalized world coming apart at the seams. A political novel after the fashion of Malraux... it is also a meditation on the state of the world (and of literature), and a raucous escapade to the far corners of the globe.\" - Le Grand Soir \"Iconoclastic Adventurer: The lives of great reporters are fascinating. Long before establishing his credentials as a poet, essayist, documentary filmmaker and even a novelist, Andre Vltchek, was a journalist. Donning this hat once again, he revisits his years as an intrepid reporter...\" - Caroline Mangez (Paris Match) \"Vltchek has written a colourful and elegantly crafted novel with a political stance that will engage some and provoke others but is always heart-felt and sincere.\" - Lila Rajiva\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andre Vltchek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0977459071\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780977459070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mainstay Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Andre Vltchek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46140697739519,"sku":"9780977459070","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad168182-61a4-489e-a3c9-24c5624a49be.jpg?v=1726596777","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/point-of-no-return-andre-vltchek-9780977459070","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
