Kaleidoscopic. Extraordinary. A frightening ride to the bottom of the soul of a man with a previously unexamined life. This is contemporary Hawaii as it's rarely evoked, with surfing strangely near its troubled heart
William Finnegan, author of "Barbarian Days", winner of the Pulitzer Prize
Theroux's new novel is a full-fat epic
John Self, The Observer
Superb... Under the Wave at Waimea immerses you so elaborately in its watery world that you may start seeing surfing as just another guise for life itself... This probing tale of a man who's come undone and the strong, stark woman who thinks she can reassemble him is one of Theroux's best novels
Michael Upchurch, The Seattle Times
