"I was trying to see into the modern chaos... The problem of Syria... The West's indifference. I wanted to deepen the reader's immersion to such a degree that by the end of the book, they would not just know, but feel this problem for themselves."
"Lynch's book captures the social and political anxieties of our current moment but also deals with timeless themes."
