Winner of the Betty Trask Prize and W.H. Smith Literary Award, novelist Hari Kunzru displays a rare and blazing talent. Gods Without Men is a complex, multilayered work centered on a young couple whose son goes missing during a vacation in the Mojave Desert. Searching for their missing child-and for meaning-husband and wife are drawn to a remote town, where they encounter an eclectic group that includes a British rock star and a U.S. Marine. "Kunzru writes with wry certitude and cinematic precision."-New York Times
