Publisher's Summary:
In Dublin, a newspaper editor called Cartwright is found dead. One of his colleagues, Owen Simmons, discovers a dossier on Cartwrights desk containing a photograph that brings him back to a dusty road in Africa and to a woman he once loved.
Not Untrue & Not Unkind is Owens story, a gripping tale of friendship, rivalry, and betrayal among a group of journalists and photographers covering Africas wars. It is an astonishingly powerful and accomplished debut that immediately establishes Ed OLoughlin as a mature master of the novel form.
Critic Reviews:
One of the most powerful debut Irish novels of the last decade. (Sunday Business Post)
Passionate, colorful.Love story and tragedy, mystery and professional satire (à la Evelyn Waughs Scoop) all rolled into one. (Irish Times )
Members Reviews:
Great book - but difficut listen
This contender for the Man Booker prize in 2010 is a first rate story of reporters in Rwanda & Zaire during the horrible events of the 1990s. It is well and intricately told and reminded me of John LeCarre's understated style. Great book, but it requires attention. I found I couldn't follow it on Audible and I ended up purchasing a written version, which I loved. The reader, Gerald Doyle, uses a Scottish accent which is probably fitting, but his lilt made it sound as if every sentence ended with a question mark. It distracted me. I recommend listening to a sample before you buy.
