Dead In Iraq
Eve Ottenberg,
Publisher: Plain View Press
ISBN: 0911051430   DDC: 811.540809287   Edition: Paperback; 2008-11-28

Summary:

A stereoscopic study of battlefield carnage and suburban aspirations
- of the chaos of roadside explosions abroad and the masquerade of
normality at home - Eve Ottenberg Stone's stingingly detailed,
stately paced Dead in Iraq is an elegy suffused with a sense of loss
and fortified with a quiet fury over lives destroyed, dreams dashed,
bonds severed. It's a novel about what happens under the noise of
headline news, and how the lives of the survivors are lived after
those headlines fade - the silent, invisible true casualty toll of
war. James Wolcott, Vanity Fair columnist and author of the novel The
Catsitters Eve Ottenberg not only knows how to tell a story, but
brings you so far inside that it'll stay with you. Nat Hentoff,
Village Voice columnist
