About the Book

«En Nuevo destino, Phil Klay le transmite al lector de a pie lo que se siente al ser un soldado en combate, y cómo es volver a casa, todavía aturdido por las contrariedades de la guerra.» The New York Times

¿Qué ocurre cuando las guerras acaban y los soldados regresan a casa? ¿Qué heridas de guerra son las más terribles, las de sus cuerpos o las de sus mentes? ¿Y qué pasará con esos heridos, ahora que su misión ha terminado y nadie los necesita? Libro ganador del premio National Book Award 2014 Este libro, tan brillante como necesario, es la primera obra de Phil Klay, ex marine y veterano de la guerra de Irak. Con él obtuvo en 2014 el premio más prestigioso de las letras norteamericanas: el National Book Award, además de otros galardones. Nuevo destino fue unánimemente aclamado por la crítica norteamericana y recomendado por el presidente Barack Obama, que lo calificó de lectura poderosa e inolvidable. A través de sus doce impactantes relatos, Nuevo destino traslada al lector a la primera línea de fuego de las guerras de Irak y Afganistán, instándole a comprender lo que allí sucedió y qué fue de los soldados que volvieron a casa. Basado en su propia experiencia y en la de otros soldados, el retrato que Phil Klay hace del conflicto bélico resulta a un tiempo próximo, duro e impactante, pero también, aunque pueda parecer extraño, cálido e incluso mordaz. 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.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


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 remains--of 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
