Reviews
“Thought-provoking and moving… Complex and multilayered… [ Silence ] is a great achievement, and I love the book.” – David Mitchell, author of The Bone Clocks and Cloud Atlas ” Silence I regard as a masterpiece, a lucid and elegant drama.” – The New York Review of Books “One of the best historical novels by anyone, ever.” –David Mitchell (from an interview on Foyles.com) “Somber, delicate, and startlingly empathetic.” –John Updike (from Endo’s New York Times obituary) “Endo has been repeatedly, tiresomely, compared to Graham Greene, who warmly praised [Silence]. . . . But Greene’s fascination with sin and guilt looks very tame when put beside Endo’s.” –Gary Wills, The New York Review of Books “A masterpiece, a lucid and elegant drama about a Portuguese missionary tormented by Japanese inquisitors.” –Irving Howe, The New York Review of Books “Endo’s disarmingly direct and poignant narration masks a complex moral discussion.” –Robert Coles, New Oxford Review “Endo’s grandest novel.” –Robert Winder, Independent (London) “Endo succeeds in creating a vision of Christian faith obstinate enough to endure even in soils that have never been fertile for its growth.” –The CS Lewis Review “At the height of his powers, the author produced two historical masterworks, [including] Silence.” –Crisis Magazine
