some of the linguistic and stylistic choices did get on my nerves a little bit around the halfway mark. i understand it’s an intentional characterisation choice but i’m glad this was so short. ghoulish and gruesome but still space for brotherhood and love. interesting dichotomy

The episodic story telling mixed 
with rumination on the effects of war, colonization, and the death of loved ones on the human psyche presents a story that has really intense moments that shine with humanity. took a star off because the repeating words were repeated a little too much.

An extra-ordinary book on the effects of war on the character involved. Not a viewpoint we usually see, the book is full of rage and yet pervaded by sadness throughout…
Not to be forgotten by those of us who have never been put in such a position.
