Reviews: 'The Demon Who Peddled Longing takes you on the quest of an insular boy - a quest to avenge his cousin's murder and to win the heart of a fickle woman. His deliverance lies not in the consummation of these goals but in the dignity with which he pursues them. As poetic as Faulkner, as stark as Cormac McCarthy, The Demon Who Peddled Longing is an absorbing read.' -James Hanna, The Sand Hill Review 'Compelling and beautifully written ... a richly accomplished story set in a land still wounded by war.' -Stephen Evans, author of The Marriage of True Minds 'An unnamed protagonist journeys through a Faulknerian dreamscape where redemption arises out of violence and beauty blossoms from the mire of loss. A rare achievement through a mesmerizing rhythm of language. That this novel is an artistic triumph is an understatement.' -John M. Gist, Red Savina Review About The Author Khanh Ha is the author of Flesh (2012, Black Heron Press).
