"An eclectic and often riveting collection of essays. Some of the
most celebrated contemporary writers eloquently explore the idea of
risk taking, risk that shakes us out of apathy and ignites both
deeply personal change and broader social transformation." -Khaled
Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns
"Dedicated to the People of Darfur gathers an array of voices on
the subject of risk: whether it's the smaller daily risks of
creativity and love or the terrors of facing wartime violence. The
book moves nimbly from hilarious to somber and back again, in a
richly varied and thoughtful exploration of the human condition."
-Michelle Wildgen, author of But Not For Long and You're Not You
"Formidable, inspiring, beautiful." -Junot Diaz, author of The
Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao In Dedicated to the People of
Darfur: Writings on Fear, Risk, and Hope, Nobel and Pulitzer Prize
winners, a gallery of O. Henry award recipients, and many
best-selling authors come together to share personal and compelling
stories that celebrate the glories gained from taking risks,
breaking down barriers, and overcoming obstacles. Not too long ago,
as struggling graduate students, Luke and Jennifer Reynolds
conceived this uniquely themed volume as a way to raise funds to
support ending the genocide in Darfur. Some people carry signs,
others make speeches, many take action. What is most enlightening
about this book is that it extends beyond words and ideas, into a
tangible effort to effect change. To this end, all royalties from
the sales of Dedicated to the People of Darfur: Writings on Fear,
Risk, and Hope will benefit The Save Darfur Coalition, an
organization that seeks to end the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. Luke
and Jennifer Reynolds are both passionate about human rights causes
and literature. Currently they live in Marlborough, Massachusetts,
with their son, Tyler. Luke is a teacher and writer and Jennifer is
a freelance writer and full-time mother.
