magazine, among others.
The Hidden Light of Northern Fires
is his first novel.
"Daren Wang's first novel is splendid--a distinctive clear-eyed perspective on a fresh corner of the Civil War. The characters are fully alive, wonderfully varied, and the narrative voice is particularly lucid, in sharp contrast with the raving bloody madness of that dark moment in American history." --
