Reviews
"Alarcón is a young, talented writer who is on the cusp of a breakthrough, a state of mind perfectly captured by the compulsively energetic voice of At Night We Walk in Circles … [a] gripping story." - The Daily Beast "Nabokov says that imagination is a form of memory, and this novel is a perfect example of this claim. In writing about a place, its people and its history, Daniel Alarcón's memory catches the evanescent details of everyday life, while his imagination, never for a moment blurred, creates a powerful story with so many intricate characters. This is a novel written with extraordinary vision and wisdom." -Yiyun Li, author of Gold Boy, Emerald Girl and The Vagrants "This is a devastatingly good novel and a masterful work by a gifted storyteller. Via the tangled lives of a small group of Peruvian actors, and in clear, compelling prose, Daniel Alarcón weaves a suspenseful tale about illusion and longing, love and denial - about all the kinds of human exile." -Jon Lee Anderson, author of Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life and The Fall of Baghdad Praise for Daniel Alarcón "A prodigious talent." - The Washington Post Book World "One of the most exciting and ambitious writers to emerge in recent years." -Colm TóibÃn "Alarcón, like the best storytellers, reveals to us that the world we have secreted in our hearts spins in a bigger universe with other hearts just as good and just as bad as our own." -Edward P. Jones "Reading Alarcón feels like witnessing the arrival of a John Steinbeck or Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez." -Minneapolis Star Tribune, "Nabokov says that imagination is a form of memory, and this novel is a perfect example of this claim.

Jones "Reading Alarcón feels like witnessing the arrival of a John Steinbeck or Gabriel García Márquez." -Minneapolis Star Tribune, "Alarcón's purpose here is to disorient us, stripping away markers of place and identity, until we have to see the world on different terms." - Los Angeles Times "Alarcón is a young, talented writer who is on the cusp of a breakthrough, a state of mind perfectly captured by the compulsively energetic voice of At Night We Walk in Circles … [a] gripping story." - The Daily Beast "Riveting… a fast-unraveling mystery of role-playing and retribution, told in compelling prose that is smart, subtle, and totally engrossing." - Booklist (starred review) "Nabokov says that imagination is a form of memory, and this novel is a perfect example of this claim.

The country is nameless, but the descriptions are specific and vivid… At Night We Walk in Circles is a breathtaking novel, intimate and sweeping, about the capriciousness of fate and how its ultimate brutality can come in the form of absence and longing." - Shelf Awareness "Nabokov says that imagination is a form of memory, and this novel is a perfect example of this claim.

Synopsis
NPR "Best Books of 2013" BookPage Best Books of 2013 Bookriot "Best Books of 2013" San Francisco Chronicle Favorite Books of 2013: Francisco Goldman Flavorwire 15 Favorite Novels of 2013 The breakout book from a prizewinning young writer: a breathtaking, suspenseful story of one man's obsessive search to find the truth of another man's downfall. Nelson's life is not turning out the way he hoped. His girlfriend is sleeping with another man, his brother has left their South American country, leaving Nelson to care for their widowed mother, and his acting career can't seem to get off the ground. That is, until he lands a starring role in a touring revival of The Idiot President , a legendary play by Nelson's hero, Henry Nunez, leader of the storied guerrilla theater troupe Diciembre. And that's when the real trouble begins. The tour takes Nelson out of the shelter of the city and across a landscape he's never seen, which still bears the scars of the civil war. With each performance, Nelson grows closer to his fellow actors, becoming hopelessly entangled in their complicated lives, until, during one memorable performance, a long-buried betrayal surfaces to force the troupe into chaos. Nelson's fate is slowly revealed through the investigation of the narrator, a young man obsessed with Nelson's story-and perhaps closer to it than he lets on. In sharp, vivid, and beautiful prose, Alarcón delivers a compulsively readable narrative and a provocative meditation on fate, identity, and the large consequences that can result from even our smallest choices., NPR Best Books of 2013 BookPage Best Books of 2013Bookriot Best Books of 2013 "San Francisco Chronicle "Favorite Books of 2013: Francisco Goldman"Flavorwire" 15 Favorite Novels of 2013 The breakout book from a prizewinning young writer: a breathtaking, suspenseful story of one man s obsessive search to find the truth of another man s downfall.
