The Winner the Whole
Country Needs To Read (Right Now)
This "stunning, often brutal collection of
stories that critically examine the complexities of war and the wounds
inflicted both on the front lines and at home," won the National
Book Award for fiction—an honor often considered
the writers' writing award, or the most artistic of the national prizes. Phil Klay's
spare, unflinching prose reflects his previous career as a U.S. Marine
Corps veteran serving in Iraq. A fierce and heart-rending read.
