Chad
Evans shows Christopher G. Moore to be a writer of great precision,
imagination, conviction and above all, knowledge. It is a timely
tribute to an important writer and to his most memorable character,
a political and social history spanning 25 years of Southeast
Asia. Vincent Calvino’s World will become an
indispensable resource for Moore’s fans and for anyone
who wants a deeper insight into Calvino’s world in Southeast
Asia in a time of vast change. Through the prism of a crime
fiction, the Calvino novels explore the dimensions of knowledge,
law, culture, philosophy and history. In Evan’s journey
through the Vincent Calvino series, he has provided a vision
of the future role of literary crime fiction—to decode
a time, place and people.
Praise
“Vincent
Calvino’s World is equally entertaining and educational,
a perfect pitch noir guide to Southeast Asia… Both the
author Chad Evans and the creator of the fictional private
detective Vincent Calvino have taken life and characters and
arrested motion taking place over three decades in multiple
and different ways… What a treat it is to read.”

“I
really like Vincent Calvino's World. It is good, very good.
It takes some time to read in order to absorb it well, and it
is a book I will read again. Oh, and an amazing point is that
at the end of the book Chad Evans said that (at least before
the book came out), he had never met or talked to Christopher
G. Moore. Amazing..”
