"So scary and funny, at once: Warner's take on and insight into the exaggerations of our strange world continually made me laugh and then pause and reconsider and shiver. Amid all the exaggerations and craziness, Warner manages to keep things grounded and human, tender." -- Peter Rock, author of My Abandonment and The Bewildered
"Witty, stylish, and smart. Entertaining
as hell." -- Mark Sarvas, author of Harry, Revised
"All her Father's Guns had me laughing out
loud. It's a wonder that a wit so dry can keep topping its own
hilarious invention, page after page. And yet, for all the
satirical surrealism of this Englishman's portrait of America,
Warner's characters draw you in: they start to breathe, they make
you care, and you end up feeling strangely moved. This is truly a
distinctive achievement." -- Tamim Ansary, author of Destiny
Disrupted: a History of the World Through Islamic Eyes and The
Widow's Husband
"James Warner has revived the
fine art of the farce, of using the absurd to reveal deep,
disturbing truths. In this novel he takes us on a wild romp
through Silicon Valley, Bezerkeley, Arizona, and Mexico, with pit
stops in academia, politics, religion, love, and survivalism. The
perfect blend of intelligence and humor makes All Her Father's
Guns a blast to read." -- Frances Lefkowitz, author of To
Have Not
"Locked and loaded with precocious wit, evocative language and poignant moments, this rollicking satire hits modern society squarely in the bullseye." -- Matt Stewart, author of The French Revolution

"And
faith in the novel has this, at least, in common with faith in
God: in both cases, you can always tell the genuine article
because it will always be riddled with doubt." -- Jonathan
Coe
"Our deep selves welcome our catastrophes." --
John Updike
