Praise for Rock Paper Tiger
"Lisa Brackmann's novel gets off to a fast start and never lets up . . . Ellie is a perfect spunky heroine . . . Be prepared for a wild ride."
--The New York Times Book Review
"Recommendation for More Thrills: This pulse-racer about an American Iraqwar vet is set in the art world of Beijing."
--Entertainment Weekly
"Lisa Brackmann's debut novel is as slick and smart as an alley cat . . . Beijing in Rock Paper Tiger is as it is in real life: fast, furious, often ugly, and with a Starbucks sitting on every corner."
--Time Out Beijing
"Check out Rock Paper Tiger. It's a mystery/action novel that pretty much pulls off something I would have thought improbable: combining an account of Iraq-war drama (the emphasis is on Abu Ghraib-type themes), with a portrayal of the urban China of these past few years, complete with overhyped art scene, dissident bloggers, lots of young expats, and constant uncertainty about what the government will permit or crack down on."
--The Atlantic
"Don't turn the pages too fast. Brackmann's evocation of China, funny, frustrating, frightening, sometimes tender, and always real, is worth savoring."
--Nicole Mones, author of Lost in Translation and The Last Chinese Chef
"The contemporary China so vividly rendered in Lisa Brackmann's bracing debut novel is a place where the Starbucks baristas 'all know the English words for coffee'' and housing developments are named after glamorous U.S. hotspots . . . Rock Paper Tiger is a gripping ex-pat nightmare that unfolds with superb pacing and salient details. And it makes you damned glad your life is boring."
--The Miami Herald, a summer reading recommendation
