I’ve now read the entire published works of John Wray — in other words, I finished his other book, “The Right Hand of Sleep.” Like “Canaan’s Tongue,” it’s a historical novel but set in a very different time and place — this time, it’s an Austrian mountain village in 1938, aka the time of the Anschluss. Wray’s mother is Austrian and he spent a lot of time there growing up and it’s astonishingly surehanded and mature for a first novel. This guy is that good.
