An American in Nagaland
An American in Nagaland is the first novel to have as a
major sub-theme the fifty-year-old struggle fought by
Naga nationalists in northeast India, a struggle the BBC
characterizes as “the world's longest running conflict.”
Tom Farrell's An
American in Nagaland is a truly brilliant work of
fiction. It is suspenseful, stirring, and always
absorbing ... a must-read for anyone interested in an
intelligent, beautifully written and entertaining
thriller. In a word, this is a terrific novel.
Enrico Garzilli,
Author/Composer, Rage of the Heart and Michelangelo.
An American in
Nagaland is a passionate novel of clashing cultures and
conflicting generations. I am haunted by it.
Marc J. Seifer,
Author, Wizard: The Life and Times of Nikola Tesla and
Staretz Encounter.
Just finished reading An American in Nagaland ... a
gripping story. I read it in one sitting. The karmic
outcome was neatly underplayed throughout the whole
story until the final denouement. I enjoyed the book.
Denning Powell,
Author, Monkey Trap.
