"A compact powerhouse of a novel. . . . it's subversive,
unexpected, and utterly compelling."--Booklist (starred review)
"Dark, funny, and surprisingly tender."--Publishers Weekly
"Quick delivers an exceptional novel; its themes of war and memory
as well as its unforgettable characters, especially the ornery
David, fast pace, and insightful dialog will connect with
readers."--Library Journal (starred review)
"Surprising.... At the core of the novel is the voice of David
Granger, a combination of Archie Bunker and Marlow of Conrad's
Heart of Darkness.... A valuable addition to fiction about the
tangled aftereffects of Vietnam on soldiers in the
field."--Kirkus
"The author of The Silver Linings Playbook delivers another
engaging and screen-ready dramedy about an irascible misfit on a
mission for closure."--Atlanta Journal-Constitution
