I am extremely grateful for buy stromectol scabies online of The Four Horsemen by Anne Schiller, who is Professor of Anthropology at George Mason University, Virginia. As well as saying very nice things about the pure thriller aspects of the novel (and giving a wonderfully condensed overview of the story-line, without spoilers), she has this to say about the underlying theme:
“The Four Horsemen is more than an exciting whodunit. Alvise’s experiences, combined with those of other characters, invite reflection on sociological quandaries of identity and belonging. The Most Serene Republic was seething with diversity. Denizens from competing – and defeated — empires lived side by side. Dowling’s thriller raises questions about who belonged in Venice and on whose say so.”
I’m happy that this side of the novel has received attention – and from someone who makes it clear that it is at the same time a “galloping thriller” and not a sociological tract. So thank you, Professor Schiller!
