New York City, NY: The Penguin Press, 2015. First Edition. First Printing.. Softcover. Fine/No Dust Jacket, As Issued.. New York City, NY: The Penguin Press, 2015. Softcover. Fine/None, As Issued. First Edition/First Printing. 291 pages. The author's breakthrough debut collection of short stories. One of the most sensational literary debuts of our time. The First Softcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent printings. Published in a small and limited first print run as a softcover. Publisher's removable "National Book Award Winner" Gold Seal pasted in front. Presents Iraqi veteran Phil Klay's "Redeployment". His first book. Described by the New Yorker Magazine as "the best literary work thus far" on the Iraq War, it tells a different - and deeper - truth about the American involvement in Iraq than any journalistic account published on the subject. It is a direct descendant of one of our greatest literary traditions: The "war" novel and short story. Hemingway ("A Farewell To Arms"), Gore Vidal ("Williwaw"), Norman Mailer ("The Naked And The Dead"), Kurt Vonnegut ("Slaughterhouse-Five"), and Joseph Heller ("Catch-22") are just a few of the canonical authors and their debut titles about various "American" wars in our time, over which Vietnam looms largest. War fiction, particularly "Vietnam literature", is a genre unto itself; Iraq and Afghanistan are its contemporary successor-wars, whose human cost is the subject of literature because it can never be captured by the distanced, impersonal, "third-person" voice of journalism. Phil Klay's collection is surely most notable, and irresistible, for its "first-person" voice: Palpable, a living, breathing, aching voice. It was something that needed to be told by someone who experienced it firsthand, somehow survived, and has now written to tell the rest of us all about it. Almost all of the greatest war fiction is a first book (by a very young man, of very large promise and talent) that, once written, could never be repeated, a "stand-alone" achievement that may or may not be the harbinger of a great body of work. There are critics and readers who believe that Mailer, Vonnegut, and Heller never quite surpassed their war novels whereas "A Farewell To Arms" became the basis of Hemingway's Nobel-winning oeuvre and "Williwaw", an underrated Vidal work, was simply the signal arrival of a major writer. An unforgettable book about what our politicians routinely call "our men and women in uniform", never ever calling them what they are, "soldiers", thereby glossing over and inuring us to what they do (they are paid, deployed, and redeployed to die, "for us, our values, and our way of life"), it is dedicated to "My Mother and My Father, who had three sons join the military in a time of war". An absolute "must-have" edition for Phil Klay collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by Phil Klay. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title will become a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Softcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the National Book Award in 2014 for "Redeployment". One of the most brilliant new voices of American literature. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO ELLIOT ACKERMAN TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0143126822.

Winner of the 2014 National Book Award for Fiction Winner of the John Leonard First Book Prize Selected as one of the best books of the year by The New York Times Book Review , Time , Newsweek , The Washington Post Book World , Amazon, and more Phil Klay's Redeployment takes readers to the frontlines of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, asking us to understand what happened there, and what happened to the soldiers who returned. Interwoven with themes of brutality and faith, guilt and fear, helplessness and survival, the characters in these stories struggle to make meaning out of chaos. In "Redeployment", a soldier who has had to shoot dogs because they were eating human corpses must learn what it is like to return to domestic life in suburbia, surrounded by people "who have no idea where Fallujah is, where three members of your platoon died." In "After Action Report", a Lance Corporal seeks expiation for a killing he didn't commit, in order that his best friend will be unburdened. A Morturary Affairs Marine tells about his experiences collecting remainsof U.S. and Iraqi soldiers both. A chaplain sees his understanding of Christianity, and his ability to provide solace through religion, tested by the actions of a ferocious Colonel. And in the darkly comic "Money as a Weapons System", a young Foreign Service Officer is given the absurd task of helping Iraqis improve their lives by teaching them to play baseball. These stories reveal the intricate combination of monotony, bureaucracy, comradeship and violence that make up a soldier's daily life at war, and the isolation, remorse, and despair that can accompany a soldier's homecoming. Redeployment is poised to become a classic in the tradition of war writing. Across nations and continents, Klay sets in devastating relief the two worlds a soldier inhabits: one of extremes and one of loss. Written with a hard-eyed realism and stunning emotional depth, this work marks Phil Klay as one of the most talented new voices of his generation.
