READ THE FULL REVIEW
"At the heart of Silas Dent Zobal’s beautiful and riveting new novel are the heartbreaking mysteries of parenthood and love. Through writing that is graceful and bare . . . . 'The People of the Broken Neck' is . . . a gripping story of a man and his family on the run." — Derek Palacio
“Silas Dent Zobal’s 'The People of the Broken Neck' is one of those rare hybrids: a thriller and a deeply philosophical novel, a novel so finely attuned to the dark currents of human love and aggression that it touches those wellsprings that lie beneath the human.” — John Vernon
