Praise for Roy Scranton [Scranton] writes clearly and convincingly about the emotional, existential challenges that attracted him to war, and how he was changed by the time he returned home.”  —The New York Times  “One of the best and most disturbing war novels in years.”  —The Wall Street Journal  “What impresses is the brutal immediacy of the writing, its authority. Roy Scranton is a truth-telling war writer.” —E.L. Doctorow, National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author of Ragtime and The March “Roy Scranton’s searingly honest first novel is surreal, ultra-real, and like everything he writes from the heart. This examination of the tragedy of what happened in Iraq reaches out to touch of all us. A brilliant literary achievement.” —Jeff VanderMeer, author of the Southern Reach trilogy “Powerful, engaging, heartrending, corrosive and unyielding.” —Joyce Carol Oates “Roy Scranton is one of the most gifted writers of his generation.” —Amitav Ghosh
