Sympathy for the Devil: Mulholland Classic
Autor Kent Andersonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 iul 2019
Hanson
joins
the
Green
Berets
fresh
out
of
college.
Carrying
a
volume
of
Yeats's
poems
in
his
uniform
pocket,
he
has
no
idea
of
what
he's
about
to
face
in
Vietnam--from
the
enemy,
from
his
fellow
soldiers,
or
within
himself.
In
vivid,
nightmarish,
and
finely
etched
prose,
Kent
Anderson
takes
us
through
Hanson's
two
tours
of
duty
and
a
bitter,
ill-fated
return
to
civilian
life
in-between,
capturing
the
day-to-day
process
of
war
like
no
writer
before
or
since.

Recenzii
"Fiction
that
wounds
and
stings....Sympathy
for
the
Devilis
a
wonderful
achievement
,
written
fluently
and
perceptively,
and
with
the
kind
of
unsparing
intelligence
that
is
rooted
in
careful
observation....
Kent
Anderson
has
outwritten
just
about
everybody
who
preceded
him
in
trying
to
make
fictional
sense
out
of
the
war."
—Peter
Straub,Washington
Post"An ending unlike anything else in war literature ... a nihilist ordeal of such power that comedy and tragedy flow into one another, and you can only watch numbly as your values float away facedown in the river."—Los Angeles Review of Books
