Product Information

Tracy Kidder, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and author of the bestsellers The Soul of a New Machine, House, and the enduring classic Mountains Beyond Mountains , has been described by the Baltimore Sun as the "master of the non-fiction narrative." In this new book, Kidder gives us the superb story of a hero for our time. Strength in What Remains is a wonderfully written, inspiring account of one man's remarkable American journey and of the ordinary people who helped hima brilliant testament to the power of will and of second chances. Deo arrives in America from Burundi in search of a new life. Having survived a civil war and genocide, plagued by horrific dreams, he lands at JFK airport with two hundred dollars, no English, and no contacts. He ekes out a precarious existence delivering groceries, living in Central Park, and learning English by reading dictionaries in bookstores. Then Deo begins to meet the strangers who will change his life, pointing him eventually in the direction of Columbia University, medical school, and a life devoted to healing. Kidder breaks new ground in telling this unforgettable story as he travels with Deo back over a turbulent life in search of meaning and forgiveness. An extraordinary writer, Tracy Kidder once again shows us what it means to be fully human by telling a story about the heroism inherent in ordinary people, a story about a life based on hope.

Reviews
Praise forMountains Beyond Mountains: "It'll fill you equally with wonder and hope." -People "[A] masterpiece." -USA Today, "The journey of Deo achieves mythic importance in Tracy Kidder's expert hands."-Adrian Nicole LeBlanc "Tracy Kidder'sStrength in What Remainsis a tour de force. Inspiring. Moving. Gripping. Deo's story is remarkable, stunning really. His journey is the story of our times, one that keeps the rest of us from forgetting. This book will stir the conscience and resurrect your faith in the human spirit."-Alex Kotlowitz, Praise for Tracy Kidder'sStrength In What Remains "That 63-year-old Tracy Kidder may have just written his finest work -- indeed, one of the truly stunning books I've read this year -- is proof that the secret to memorable nonfiction is so often the writer's readiness to be surprised. Deo's experience can feel like this era's version of the Ellis Island migration. Deo is propelled, so often, by pure will, and his victories…summon a feeling of restored confidence in human nature and American opportunity. Then we plunge into hell. Having only glimpses of Deo's past, we suddenly get a full-blown portrait. Kidder's rendering of what Deo endured and survived just before he boarded the plane for New York is one of the most powerful passages of modern nonfiction." Ron Suskind,The New York Time Book Review "Kidder tells Deo's story with characteristic skill and sensitivity in a complex narrative that moves back and forth through time to build a richly layered portrait. One of the pleasures of reading Kidder is that sooner or later, in most of his books, someone puts us in mind of the closing lines from ''Middlemarch'': ''For the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.''" Boston Globe "A tale of unspeakable barbarism and unshakeable strength."Time Magazine "It is a mark of the skill and ­empathy of Mr. Kidder, a Pulitzer Prize-winning ­author, that he makes Deo's story come alive believablyas the experience of a real ­individualand avoids…the usual tropes of a ­triumph-of-the- human-spirit tale. [T]he book encourages a general hope that individuals can ­transcend even the greatest horrors." Wall Street Journal "Strength in What Remains" builds in magnitude and poignancy. It is moving without being uplifting, because Kidder has the intelligence to avoid any hint of the saccharine within its pages."Chicago Tribune "[Tracy Kidder's] kind of literary journalism…involves seeing the world through the eyes of those he writes about; not judging them, simply presenting them as they move through life… Kidder is one of the best, if not the best, at it, garnering a Pulitzer, a National Book Award and generations of grateful readers."Susan Salter Reynolds,The Los Angeles Times "In its sober ability to astonish, this may well be Tracy Kidder's best book." Cleveland Plain Dealer "Tracy Kidder's new book "Strength in What Remains" is...a narrative infused with a broad, universal appeal and occasional touches of brilliance. He offers us fine prose, complex characters, and realistic portrayals. Deo's resilience, his struggle to overcome adversity strikes a chord in all of us. His story reaffirms our hope that one person can make a difference... [T]his book is one not to be missed.Seattle Times Tracy Kidder is probably one of the few authors alive who can craft a narrative from the extremes of despair and hope and make it work beautifully. Kidder is a master of creative nonfiction, employing both journalistic and novelistic techniques to tell a true story, compellingly.Steve Weinberg,Raleigh News & Observer "With an anthropologist's eye and a novelist's pen, Pulitzer Prize-, "The journey of Deo achieves mythic importance in Tracy Kidder's expert hands."-Adrian Nicole LeBlanc "Tracy Kidder'sStrength in What Remainsis a tour de force. Inspiring. Moving. Gripping. Deo's story is remarkable, stunning really. His journey is the story of our times, one that keeps the rest of us from forgetting. This book will stir the conscience and resurrect your faith in the human spirit."-Alex Kotlowitz "Read this book, and it's one that you will not likely forget. The story of a journey, classical in its way, but contemporary and very modern in its details. It's written with such simplicity and lucidity that it transcends the moment and becomes as powerful and compelling as those journeys of myth." -Jonathan Harr "The reporting is impeccable, but it's Kidder's great feat of sympathetic imagination that dazzles.  Walk a mile in Deo's shoes; your world will be larger and darker for it."-William Finnegan, author ofCold New WorldandCrossing the Line "Believe me, at the end of this riveting narrative, your eyes will not be dry." -Adam Hochschild From the Hardcover edition.
