The Red Laugh by Leonid Nikolayevich Andreyev
4.0
A profound examination of PTSD. The "Red Laugh" should be read along with "All Quiet on the Western Front", "The Red Badge of Courage", and "Life in the Grave" (I zoi en tafo).
Through his storytelling, Leonid Andreyev conveys the horror, insanity and pointlessness of War through the eyes of his protagonists. The Red Laugh haunts and outmaneuvers the latter, as they attempt to escape its gruesome and omnipresent implication.
A thrilling book and a page-turner by any measure. Highly recommended.
