Items related to The Barracks Thief
The Barracks Thief won the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction in 1985. 'On a sweat-soaked afternoon three young paratroopers destined for Vietnam stand guard over an isolated ammunition dump threatened by forest fire. What follows jeopardises all their lives...the soldiers become aware of a tentative sense of camaraderie, each one sharing with the others a recognition of the seductive power of violence. But any chance of a genuine friendship is quashed by the discovery, back at the camp, of a barracks thief. Suspicion supplants sympathy. Fear of betrayal fosters alienation...Wolff's consummate skill quietly conveys the tragedy of ordinary lives with aching intensity.'
