« The Black Flame of Paradise is a non-religious experience of religion… its fire is dazzling. Beyond all redemption and all actual and authentic memories, there is room for generosity, hope, and beauty. »

« Over the past decade Zachary Cahill has explored nation building and religion through USA. The Black Flame of Paradise brings this project to the dimension of writing with a poignant and timely debut novel. At once critical and exuberant, Cahill deftly weaves together personal narrative, and social commentary into relevant and illuminating images and structures. »
