"It's not only Rind's brand new novel, it's his debut, and Four Dervishes is as rich and rewarding a tale as you will read all year. Truly. It's magnificent."
Four Dervishes draws on a long tradition of storytelling as it skewers issues like religious bigotry, injustice, the denial of women’s rights, and class division. Lavishly inventive, verbally rich, an exotic confection, this novel is both darkly thematic and humorously playful.
