\"34.<\/a>Sandy Tolan is just one week into the book tour<\/a> for Children of the Stone<\/strong><\/a>, and the response has been extraordinary. Not only did\u00a0Children of the Stone<\/strong> appear in both The Daily Beast<\/a>\u00a0and Salon<\/a>, but ‘Friday Was The Bomb<\/a>‘ author\u00a0Nathan Deuel referred to Tolan’s latest book as “a moving look at music’s power in Palestine.”\u00a0 And the praise doesn’t end there:<\/p>\n

“Teasing out all the details of this story, from the granular facts of Ramzi’s life to the complicated history of the region, Tolan is a scrupulous craftsman if not always a dazzling one. The end notes to the book run for nearly 100 pages, a workmanlike demonstration of rigor. But it isn’t poetic sentences or surprising metaphors that propel us forward; it’s the hard work of getting the story right \u2014 diligence required of any serious project about this, the most contentious of regions.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
