It's what all truly excellent literature leaves you with. 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. It’s an expression of Scranton’s philosophy about telling new, different stories as a means of survival." —The Millions"A kaleidoscopic view of war experienceScranton’s literary skill and fierceness of vision make him a stout antagonist for anyone who wants to take him on." —Time Now"A fierce
A stunner Rates right up there with the best of them, any war, ant time, any place, anyone. It ended earlier than I expected. Quick. A stunning flash bang of a story, down to the bone.

Videos, images, and narratives featuring graphic violence, often brought back from combat zones, viewed voyeuristically or for emotional gratification.
