Point of No Return

Point of No Return

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 todayâ€™s world, its disparities and brutal post-colonial arrangement â€“ including the imperialist push for Western hegemony. â€œPoint 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.â€ â€“ Tony Christini â€œPoint of No Return is riveting.â€ - Paulin Cesari (Le Figaro) â€œAndrÃ© Vltchek is a writer, the real thing, of the same calibre and breed as Hemingway and Malraux.â€ - Catherine Merveilleux â€œAndre 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 realityâ€¦â€ â€“ Noam Chomsky â€œThis 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 Malrauxâ€¦ 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.â€ - Le Grand Soir â€œIconoclastic 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...â€ - Caroline Mangez (Paris Match) â€œVltchek 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.â€ â€“ Lila Rajiva
