Phil Klay Redeployment Analysis

145 Words | 1 Pages

In his novel, Redeployment, Phil Klay immerses his readers into the minds of a variety of different characters with one thing in common, they are men of war. The novel is divided into twelve short stories with each one focusing in on a Marine or Soldier and their particular struggles. These men vary in age, rank, specialization, and where they are in their lives with some of them being active duty in Iraq to others being back home in New York. While some moments in the novel are heavy and almost too real, Klay captures the Marine’s sarcastic and often crude banter showing the glimmers of light in their war torn lives.
