Praise
for Day for
Night
“Brilliant plotting, haunting characters, and
an elegiac tone distinguish this dazzling novel…Contemporary fiction at its best – accessible, breathtaking, and heartbreaking.”
-
Kirkus (starred review)
"It’s an entrancing and profoundly complicated tale Reiken tells as he slowly reveals the submerged connections among his
intriguing characters while sustaining psychological sophistication, suspense, shrewd humor, and many-tiered
compassion. Reiken’s novel of miraculous survival and discovery embraces the earth’s splendor,
humankind’s capacity for good and evil, and the fact that we are all linked and that much is concealed
within our oceanic psyches."

“Day
For Night does what really good books so often do
by forcing us to see the familiar world in new ways that
reveal its wonder. It's a nifty trick that not every
writer can pull off. Frederick Reiken can and does.”

listed as one of “10 rising literary stars of 2010.”
- The London Telegraph
“Day for Night is beautiful, original, brilliant and swift. A novel that seems to be about everything, everywhere, yet wears its ambitions lightly and keeps hold of a strong, mysterious emotional core. I admired every page of it and can't wait to read it again.”
- Kevin Canty
author of
Where the Money Went
“From the dazzling opening chapter of
Day For Night, Frederick Reiken makes clear that the stakes for his characters, and for his readers, are nothing less than everything. Here is a world, our world, in which no one gets to escape the net of history and no one, finally, gets to deny their human connections. I held my breath while I watched Reiken assemble his own extraordinary minyan.”
