Reviews
" Dark at the Crossing is every bit as taut and harrowing as the place it depicts, a region where fifteen years of relentless war play out in filthy refugee camps and upscale shopping malls. Elliot Ackerman has written a brilliant, admirably merciless novel of broken lives, broken places, and good intentions gone awry." --Ben Fountain, author of Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk "Once again, Elliot Ackerman dares to imagine his way into the minds, lives, and fates of people too many American writers would judge as inaccessible--perhaps even forbidden. The result is a book whose emotional acuity is matched only by its literary artistry. They don't award medals of valor to novelists, but while reading this book I often thought, Maybe they should." --Tom Bissell, author of Apostle: Travels Among the Tombs of the Twelve "Ackerman is a magnificent storyteller. Dark at the Crossing is a quietly but intensely profound novel. It captures this epic moment in Middle East history in human terms. It's a riveting read. I couldn't put it down." --Robin Wright, author of Rock the Casbah: Rage and Rebellion across the Islamic World "Welcome to a dark world illuminated by visions that the writer Elliot Ackerman has brought back from his wars, his journalistic investigations, and from his artist's imagination. We see a professional soldier's overused muscles, the smile of an Ivy League war-profiteer in his bathrobe, a Turkish woman's seductive glamour--all with lifelike clarity. This novel makes us see and hear as if we are there, too close for comfort, as Ackerman's hero and heroine are drawn, against any self-preserving logic, back across the border into the maelstrom of Syria. Can anyone make this dark crossing and remain true? Ackerman's heroes try. Like Robert Stone's A Flag for Sunrise , to which Ackerman's novel bears comparison, both for its sophisticated understanding of current affairs and its grim realism, Dark at the Crossing is a disturbing report on the ancient paradox of war in which life and death, good and evil are intimately intertwined. After the bodies fall, the green grass grows over them. We look at the graves and ask, 'What does it mean?' In this stunning, grief-inspiring book, it seems to me that Ackerman confesses we do not know. I don't think anyone can ask more of a piece of literature than this delivers." --Atticus Lish, author of Preparation for the Next Life, " Dark at the Crossing is every bit as taut and harrowing as the place it depicts, a region where fifteen years of relentless war play out in filthy refugee camps and upscale shopping malls. Elliot Ackerman has written a brilliant, admirably merciless novel of broken lives, broken places, and good intentions gone awry." --Ben Fountain, author of Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk "Infused with profound knowledge, empathy, and chutzpah, Ackerman's writing is hauntingly evocative and beautiful. It is a rare writer who is not afraid to deal with the toughest conflicts, ask the hardest questions, show the darkest side of even heroes, and still manage to renew our faith in humanity." --Elif Shafak, author of The Bastard of Istanbul "Elliot Ackerman's quietly subversive sensibilities make him one of the most potent and original writers to emerge from that elite platoon of men and women who, since 9/11, have laid down their guns to pick up a pen. Once again, here in his second novel, Dark at the Crossing, Ackerman insists American readers immerse themselves in the humanity of their country's enemies and victims. His work is a unique and bittersweet blessing of raw grace and naked, bleeding empathy." --Bob Shacochis, author of The Woman Who Lost Her Soul "Once again, Elliot Ackerman dares to imagine his way into the minds, lives, and fates of people too many American writers would judge as inaccessible--perhaps even forbidden. The result is a book whose emotional acuity is matched only by its literary artistry. They don't award medals of valor to novelists, but while reading this book I often thought, Maybe they should." --Tom Bissell, author of Apostle: Travels Among the Tombs of the Twelve "Ackerman is a magnificent storyteller.

Synopsis
NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST "Transports readers into a world few Americans know" -- Washington Post A timely new novel of stunning humanity and tension: a contemporary love story set on the Turkish border with Syria. Haris Abadi is a man in search of a cause. An Arab American with a conflicted past, he is now in Turkey, attempting to cross into Syria and join the fight against Bashar al-Assad's regime. But he is robbed before he can make it, and is taken in by Amir, a charismatic Syrian refugee and former revolutionary, and Amir's wife, Daphne, a sophisticated beauty haunted by grief. As it becomes clear that Daphne is also desperate to return to Syria, Haris's choices become ever more wrenching: Whose side is he really on? Is he a true radical or simply an idealist? And will he be able to bring meaning to a life of increasing frustration and helplessness? Told with compassion and a deft hand, Dark at the Crossing is an exploration of loss, of second chances, and of why we choose to believe--a trenchantly observed novel of raw urgency and power. "Promises to be one of the most essential books of 2017" -- Esquire
