Point of No Return is one of the great novels of the 21st century. It deserves a wide readership and serious critical appraisal. Over a half century ago, in his important book American Moderns - From Rebellion to Conformity, the great literary critic Maxwell Geismar noted that Our best literary work has come from writers who are outsidethe dominant] intellectual orbit, wherecapitalist] panic has slowly subsided into inertia.

Long before establishing his credentials as a poet, essayist, documentary filmmaker and even a novelist, Andre Vltchek, was a journalist. Donning this hat once again, he revisits his years as an intrepid reporter... - Caroline Mangez (Paris Match) Vltchek has written a colourful and elegantly crafted novel with a political stance that will engage some and provoke others but is always heart-felt and sincere. - Lila Rajiva", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/97/745/907/0977459071_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "27.00", "online_price" : "27.00", "our_price" : "27.00", "club_price" : "27.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
