"It's hard to say that the book is hilarious given all the graphic death and destruction, but Vulture is a daring dark comedy that doesn't shy away from the horrors that have been going on in the Palestinian territories for too long." --Leland Cheuk, NPR, A Most Anticipated Book of Summer 2025

"Though it's set amid another Gaza conflict, Vulture is less about the war than it is about foreign opportunism and interference... Its shocking conclusion indicting all those who exploit human tragedies for personal gain, Vulture is a scathing satirical novel set in the troubled Middle East." --Foreword Reviews

"This timely tragi-comic satire tears through the guts of the war news industry." --Country & Townhouse

"In a debut redolent of Graham Greene, Greenwood brings to life--in all their cynicism and all their humanity--the bullying, bragging, brilliant characters we rely on to bring us the news." --Benjamin Moser, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Sontag: Her Life and Work

"Brave, funny and beautifully written." --Martin McDonagh, Oscar-winning writer and director

"Martha Gelhorn meets Martin Amis." --Michael Hodges, author of AK47: A History of the People's Gun

"Vulture is the Scoop of our age--an absurdist tale of western media cynicism exposed by the unending horror of Gaza. Greenwood has created an antiheroine narrator whose view of the world is so darkly acerbic and sharply observed that, even as Sara appeals us with every turned page, we cannot bear to leave her side." --Julian Borger, author of I Seek a Kind Person

"Razor sharp and poignantly funny, Vulture is a remarkable debut." --Ammar Kalia, author of A Person Is A Prayer

"Greenwood explodes the romanticism of the foreign war correspondent with a sharp, satirical intelligence that is funny, moving and unforgettable." --Cosmo Landesman, Journalist

"Captivating and explosively comic." --Joel Whitney, author of Flights: Radicals on the Run

"There is much in this book that will be unsettlingly familiar to those who haunt the world's frontlines. What is strikingly different is Greenwood's voice...I salute her talent and the courage." --Fergal Keane, author of The Madness

"Vulture is so sharp and funny, and Phoebe Greenwood writes with such intelligence, such a flair for character and such an eye for the details of life in a war zone, that as you barrel forward you at first don't notice just how much sting there is to this book, and then you're left at the end, stunned and amazed. A superb novel on reporting and war." --Phil Klay, National Book Award-winning author of Redeployment
