Reviews
"Marisa Silver'sThe God of Waris as gripping as it is beautifully written. By the end I ached for these brothers, Ares and Malcolm, as if they were my own family, and I will not forget them." -- Peter Orner, author ofEsther StoriesandThe Second Coming of Mavala Shikongo, "The God of Waris such a stunning dive into a desert landscape few have understood and loved as deeply as Marisa Silver. It is no man's land, and every man's land -- there, her people wage epic battles for their lives, for their loyalties, and for their very fierce versions of love." -- Susan Straight, author ofA Million NightingalesandHighwire Moon, "Marisa Silver is the author for whom we've all been waiting. With unabashed voice she steadily, bravely, unerringly tells a heartbreakingly beautiful story for our time. "The God of War" is the truest novel I've read in ages." -- Alexandra Fuller, author of "Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight", "A stunning novel...Finely wrought characters and an illuminating portrait of [a] secret world...make for a powerful, often tragic tale." --Kirkus Reviews(starred review), "Marisa Silver'sThe God of Waris a novel of great metaphorical depth and beauty. It stays with you like a lesson well and truly learned." -- Richard Russo, author ofEmpire Falls, "Marisa Silver is the author for whom we've all been waiting. With unabashed voice she steadily, bravely, unerringly tells a heartbreakingly beautiful story for our time.The God of Waris the truest novel I've read in ages." -- Alexandra Fuller, author ofDon't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight

Synopsis
The year is 1978. Ares Ramirez, age 12, lives with his mother, Laurel, and his mentally handicapped younger brother Malcolm in a trailer at the edge of the Salton Sea. Ares comes to understand and embrace the uneasy relationship between selfhood and the responsibilities of familial love., The year is 1978. Ares Ramirez, age 12, lives with his mother, Laurel, and his younger brother Malcolm in a trailer at the edge of the Salton Sea, an unintentionally man-made body of water in the middle of the Southern California desert. It is a desolate, forgotten place, whose inhabitants thrive amidst seemingly impossible circumstances. Where birds fly by day across the desert sky, by night government fighter planes and helicopters make training runs using live ammunition, and an anonymous dead body floats in from the sea. These events inspire Ares, on the cusp of his adolescence, to enact elaborate fantasies of mortal combat. His membership in a troubled family marks Ares as a casualty of a different kind of war. Malcolm, age 7, is mentally handicapped, and his mother chooses not to do anything about it. Ares' struggle with the burden of responsibility -- to himself and to others -- draws him into a world of drugs, violence, and sex that he is not prepared for, launching him into a very personal battle for his own identity, one that has a lethal outcome., An indelible novel from acclaimed author Marisa Silver, set in the California desert, about the end of childhood.
