1 peopleThis experimental novel follows the memory of World War II through fractured testimony and shifting viewpoints. As soldiers’ recollections overlap and contradict one another, the disorder of war and the instability of memory come sharply into view.
Memory does not move in a straight line; it returns as a series of broken recollections.
