Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal : "Important reading; pay attention." Ben Fountain, author of Billy Lynn''s Long Halftime Walk : "If you want to know the real cost of war for those who do the fighting, read Redeployment . These stories say it all, with an eloquence and rare humanity that will simultaneously break your heart and give you reasons to hope." Nathan Englander, author of What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank : "As we try to understand the human costs of yet another foreign conflict, Phil Klay brings us the stories of the American combatants, told in a distinct, new, and powerful voice." Karen Russell, author of Swamplandia! : " Redeployment is a stunning, upsetting, urgently necessary book about the impact of the Iraq war on both soldiers and civilians. Klay''s writing is searing and powerful, unsparing of its characters and its readers, art made from a soldier''s fearless commitment to confront those losses that can''t be tallied in statistics. ''Be honest with me,'' a college student asks a returning veteran in one story, and Phil Klay''s answer is a challenge of its own: these stories demand and deserve our attention. Anthony Swofford, author of Jarhead : "Phil Klay''s stories are tightly wound psychological thrillers. The global wars of our last decade weave in and out of these affecting tales about characters who sound and feel like your neighbors. Klay comes to us through Leo Tolstoy, Ray Carver, and Ann Beattie. It''s a thrill to read a young writer so brilliantly parsing the complexities and vagaries of war. That he does so with surgical precision and artful zest makes this a must-read." Colum McCann, author of Let the Great World Spin : "When the history of these times are finally shaken out, and the shredders have all been turned off, we will turn to writers like Phil Klay to finally understand the true nature of who we were, and where we have been, and where we are still going. He slips himself in under the skin of the war with a muscular language and an agile heart and a fair amount of complicated doubt. Redeployment will be one of the great story collections of recent times. Phil Klay is a writer of our times. I can''t wait to see what he does next." Siobhan Fallon, author of You Know When the Men Are Gone : "To most, the war in Iraq is a finished chapter in history. Not so to the Marines, family members, and State Department employees in Phil Klay''s electrifying debut collection, Redeployment . Thanks to these provocative and haunting stories, the war will also become viscerally real to readers. Phil Klay is a powerful new voice and Redeployment stands tall with the best war writing of this decade." Patrick McGrath, author of Trauma : " Redeployment is fiction of a very high order. These are war stories, written with passion and urgency and consummate writerly skill. There''s a clarity here that''s lacerating in its precision and exhiliration in its effect." Lea Carpenter, author of Eleven Days : "These stories are surgically precise strikes to the heart; you can''t read them without recalling other classic takes on war and loss-Conrad, Herr, Hemingway. Klay maps the cast of our recent Middle East conflicts and illuminates its literal, and philosophical center: human casualty." Roxana Robinson, author of Sparta : "These are gorgeous stories-fierce, intelligent and heartbreaking. Phil Klay, a former Marine, brings us both the news from Iraq and the news from back home. His writing is bold and sure, and full of all sorts of authority-literary, military and just plain human. This is news we need to hear, from a new writer we need to know about.", Ben Fountain, author of Billy Lynn''s Long Halftime Walk "If you want to know the real cost of war for those who do the fighting, read Redeployment .

Synopsis
Winner of the 2014 National Book Award for Fiction · Winner of the John Leonard First Book Prize · Selected as one of the best books of the year by The New York Times Book Review , Time , Newsweek , The Washington Post Book World , Amazon, and more Phil Klay's Redeployment takes readers to the frontlines of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, asking us to understand what happened there, and what happened to the soldiers who returned. Interwoven with themes of brutality and faith, guilt and fear, helplessness and survival, the characters in these stories struggle to make meaning out of chaos. In "Redeployment", a soldier who has had to shoot dogs because they were eating human corpses must learn what it is like to return to domestic life in suburbia, surrounded by people "who have no idea where Fallujah is, where three members of your platoon died." In "After Action Report", a Lance Corporal seeks expiation for a killing he didn't commit, in order that his best friend will be unburdened. A Morturary Affairs Marine tells about his experiences collecting remains--of U.S. and Iraqi soldiers both. A chaplain sees his understanding of Christianity, and his ability to provide solace through religion, tested by the actions of a ferocious Colonel. And in the darkly comic "Money as a Weapons System", a young Foreign Service Officer is given the absurd task of helping Iraqis improve their lives by teaching them to play baseball. These stories reveal the intricate combination of monotony, bureaucracy, comradeship and violence that make up a soldier's daily life at war, and the isolation, remorse, and despair that can accompany a soldier's homecoming. Redeployment is poised to become a classic in the tradition of war writing. Across nations and continents, Klay sets in devastating relief the two worlds a soldier inhabits: one of extremes and one of loss. Written with a hard-eyed realism and stunning emotional depth, this work marks Phil Klay as one of the most talented new voices of his generation., Winner of the 2014 National Book Award for Fiction - Winner of the John Leonard First Book Prize - Selected as one of the best books of the year by The New York Times Book Review , Time , Newsweek , The Washington Post Book World , Amazon, and more Phil Klay's Redeployment takes readers to the frontlines of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, asking us to understand what happened there, and what happened to the soldiers who returned.
