We follow people-victim, perpetrator, backs to victim-leave them, forget about them, and rejoin them decades later. “Say Nothing has lots of the qualities of good fiction… Keefe is a terrific storyteller… He brings his characters to real life. “Haunting… As a cautionary tale, Say Nothing speaks volumes-about the zealotry of youth, the long-term consequences of violence and the politics of forgetting.” “Say Nothing investigates the mystery of a missing mother and reveals a still-raw violent past… The book often reads like a novel, but as anyone familiar with his work for The New Yorker can attest, Keefe is an obsessive reporter and researcher, a master of narrative nonfiction… An incredible story.” –Rolling Stone MICHAEL O’DONNELI, the Wall Street Journal “Exceptional… Explores this brittle landscape to devastating effect… Fierce reporting… It is a dizzying panorama, yet Mr.Keefe presents it with clarity.”
