Redeployment

About this title

Review:

* Extraordinarily powerful Washington Post * In Klay's hands, Iraq comes across not merely as a theater of war but as a laboratory for the human condition in extremis -- Michiko Kakutani New York Times * Will simultaneously break your heart and give you reasons to hope -- Ben Fountain * At times Redeployment recapitulates the remarkably tender, self-conscious style that Tim O'Brien forged from his experiences in Vietnam ... Mr Klay gives a deeply disquieting view of a generation of soldiers reared on war's most terrible contradictions Wall Street Journal * One of the great story collections of recent times -- Colum McCann * After the first reading I immediately began the second ... Truly haunting, and truly, indisputably, brilliant -- NIALL GRIFFITHS * Hilarious, biting and sad. It's the best thing written so far on what the war did to people's souls Scotsman * These are gorgeous stories - fierce, intelligent and heart-breaking -- Roxana Robinson, author of SPARTA * Redeployment is fiction of a very high order. These are war stories, written with passion and urgency and consummate writerly skill. There's a clarity here that's lacerating in its precision and exhilarating in its effects -- Patrick McGrath * Stunning, upsetting, urgently necessary -- Karen Russell, author of SWAMPLANDIA! * A must-read -- Anthony Swofford, author of JARHEAD * It hooks you in and doesn't let you go -- JAMES ROBERTSON, author of The Testament of Gideon Mack * Provocative and haunting ... Phil Klay is a powerful new voice and Redeployment stands tall with the best war writing of this decade -- SIOBHAN FALLON, author of You Know When the Men Are Gone * Sharp, intelligent, compelling Irish Times * Redeployment is the real thing - a vivid and vital battery of war stories that does not rely solely on its subject matter for impact (although, make no mistake, the subject certainly has impact) --Guardian
