Go back to book description

December 17 2007 - Time Literary Supplement: "Carlotto gives a wry, offhand account of his own experiences of officially condoned brutality, of fear and uncertainty, but the tone throughout is surprisingly free of rancour or recrimination."

April 24 2007 - L Magazine: "[The Fugitive] intrigues for its author's chrysallic but unmistakable persona."

April 23 2007 - The Washington Post: "...a memoir of the two years he spent on the lam in Europa and Mexico, the identities he took on, how he was betrayed by a Mexican lawyer—in short, 'the daily life, the behavior, and the routine of someone who is one the run.'"

March 20 2007 - The New York Times: "Massimo Carlotto['s]...raw stories about Italian criminals in unhealthy political climates are about as gritty as they come and [his] fictional account of his own experiences running from a murder charge ... has just been released."

March 07 2007 - Kirkus Reviews: "A powerfully dreamlike evocation of life on the lam."

February 12 2007 - Booklist: "It’s a gripping tale, whether read as a novel or as a memoir."
