Críticas
A great novel: a defining work . . . It will be read with wonder, with respect and with gratitude. (New Statesman)
Surprising and daring . . . Inanimate objects tell the story of a soldier's catastrophic tour of Afghanistan and its aftermath. It sounds odd but it's entirely engaging, thought provoking and moving. (Val McDermid Guardian 'Books of the Year')
It is a novel of concentrated ferocity and chilling accomplishments, tense and unflinching but alive to every nuance of feeling. (Hilary Mantel)
Impressive, starkly different . . . a poignant and humbling piece of writing. (Patrick Hennessey, The Junior Officers’ Reading Club)
Viscerally authentic . . . compelling and ultimately moving. (Sunday Times)
Ambitious ... [takes] its readers far beyond the limits of the conventional war memoir. (Sunday Herald)
There isn't a single perspective in Anatomy of a Soldier that doesn't have a ring of truth. (Evening Standard)
It's marvellously told and this way of telling it ... giving the inanimate a voice ... is both engrossing and distancing and I know of nothing quite like it. (Alan Bennett)
This is a brilliant book, direct from the battle zone, where all the paraphernalia of slaughter is deployed to tell its particular and savage story. (Edna O'Brien)
We've become desensitized to war stories, but Harry Parker - not simply through the originality of his approach but also through skillful storytelling, intimate observation, and an endless ability to surprise and move the reader - cuts past our calluses and delivers a bold new narrative of war and its aftermath. (Phil Klay, author of Redeployment)
Contraportada
Captain Tom Barnes is leading British troops in a war zone. Two boys are growing up there, sharing a prized bicycle and flying kites, before finding themselves separated once the soldiers appear in their countryside. On all sides of this conflict, people are about to be caught up in the violence, from the man who trains one boy to fight the infidel invaders to Barnes's family waiting for him to return home.
We see them not as they see themselves, but as all the objects surrounding them do: shoes and boots, a helmet, a trove of dollars, a drone, that bike, weaponry, a bag of fertilizer, a medal, a beer glass, a snowflake, dog tags, an exploding IED and the medical implements that are subsequently employed.
Anatomy of a Soldier is a moving, enlightening and fiercely dramatic novel about one man's journey of survival and the experiences of those around him. Forty-five objects, one unforgettable story.
