Washington Times Raves for Empire
Sep 8, 2008

The Washington Times Sunday edition for September 7 includes a rave review for "Empire of Lies." The review itself is written with grace and intelligence by James E. Person Jr. Describing the journey of the novel's hero, Jason Harrow, Person writes, "Harrow finds himself caught in a lonely downward spiral into spiritually tormenting circumstances and must face questions that recurrently arise: Where is God's love amid this? Why is He silent? Beyond that, Mr. Klavan recurrently asks, why do those who hold positions of influence and power in our country choose to abet those who would destroy all that remains of Western culture, denigrating the nation that protects and enriches them, all while mouthing the inane, politically correct slogans in which we float indifferently? ...it becomes clear that by the term "empire of lies," Mr. Klavan means the present world of public discourse in the United States." The review concludes, "'Empire of Lies' is a can't-put-it-down thriller for the thinking person."

Andrew has New Op-ed in the Wall Street Journal
Jul 24, 2008

Andrew's new op-ed on the Batman film "The Dark Knight" is now available in the Wall Street Journal.

"Leftists frequently complain that right-wing morality is simplistic. Morality is relative, they say; nuanced, complex. They're wrong, of course, even on their own terms. Left and right, all Americans know that freedom is better than slavery, that love is better than hate, kindness better than cruelty, tolerance better than bigotry. We don't always know how we know these things, and yet mysteriously we know them nonetheless. The true complexity arises when we must defend these values in a world that does not universally embrace them -- when we reach the place where we must be intolerant in order to defend tolerance, or unkind in order to defend kindness, or hateful in order to defend what we love. When heroes arise who take on those difficult duties themselves, it is tempting for the rest of us to turn our backs on them, to vilify them in order to protect our own appearance of righteousness. We prosecute and execrate the violent soldier or the cruel interrogator in order to parade ourselves as paragons of the peaceful values they preserve."
