Media Reviews
Praise for THE GOOD FATHER:

The father of a man who assassinates a presidential candidate tries to make sense of his son's crime in Hawley's gripping new novel...With great skill, Hawley renders Dr. Allen's treacherous emotional geography, from his shock and guilt to his growing sense that he knows far less about his son than he thought...Hawley's complicated protagonist is a fully fathomed and beautifully realized character whose emotional growth never slows a narrative that races toward a satisfying and touching conclusion.
--Publishers Weekly, starred review

The Good Father is hypnotic and haunting and I lost all track of time when I was reading it. Suddenly the day had become night and still I was engrossed in one father's poignant story and Noah Hawley's mesmeric tales of a long litany of assassins.
--Chris Bohjalian, author of The Night Strangers, The Double Bind, and Secrets of Eden

Brilliant and heartbreaking, The Good Father is a thriller, a mystery and above all else a savagely contemporary, hugely important story about the relationship between a father and the boy he left behind in his first, failed marriage. This is a rare and important book, and it will haunt the reader for a long time. It is impossible to read the final pages without weeping, and hard to read any of it without taking a long hard look at your own life, and the damage we do when we dare to love, or let love slip away.
--Tony Parsons, author of Man and Boy

This book pulls off something close to impossible. It's both a thriller and a moving, literary novel. A tender father/son story I couldn't put down, a page-turner with depth.
-- Stephen Elliott, author of The Adderall Diaries
