Recensione:
A great novel: a defining work . . . It will be read with wonder, with respect and with gratitude. (New Statesman)
Surprising and daring . . . Inanimate objects tell the story of a soldier's catastrophic tour of Afghanistan and its aftermath. It sounds odd but it's entirely engaging, thought provoking and moving. (Val McDermid Guardian 'Books of the Year')
It is a novel of concentrated ferocity and chilling accomplishments, tense and unflinching but alive to every nuance of feeling. (Hilary Mantel)
Impressive, starkly different . . . a poignant and humbling piece of writing. (Patrick Hennessey, The Junior Officers’ Reading Club)
Viscerally authentic . . . compelling and ultimately moving. (Sunday Times)
Ambitious ... [takes] its readers far beyond the limits of the conventional war memoir. (Sunday Herald)
There isn't a single perspective in Anatomy of a Soldier that doesn't have a ring of truth. (Evening Standard)
It's marvellously told and this way of telling it ... giving the inanimate a voice ... is both engrossing and distancing and I know of nothing quite like it. (Alan Bennett)
This is a brilliant book, direct from the battle zone, where all the paraphernalia of slaughter is deployed to tell its particular and savage story. (Edna O'Brien)
We've become desensitized to war stories, but Harry Parker - not simply through the originality of his approach but also through skillful storytelling, intimate observation, and an endless ability to surprise and move the reader - cuts past our calluses and delivers a bold new narrative of war and its aftermath. (Phil Klay, author of Redeployment)
