Taking the lives of thousands, Muslim terrorists wreaked havoc on New York City’s iconic Twin Towers, pushing citizens of the United States and surrounding countries to their limits. People have since recorded personal accounts of the catastrophe, portraying the happenings of the tear-jerking event. A consistent sense of distress and hopelessness are evident in many modern literary pieces concerning the egregious act of terrorism. In his narrative “The Ashen Guy: Lower Broadway, September 11, 2001”, author Thomas Beller establishes a significantly panicked tone through the use of detailed imagery, strong punctuation, and illustrative diction.

In Phil Klay’s Redeployment, the war in Iraq is described as an intense masculine experience. Through the pages, the presence of women is marginal, if there is any woman in the short stories, and the reader enters in a realm of men and, more important, of what it means to be a real man. The assumption of war as a complete masculine experience might seem pretty obvious; however, Phil Klay is able to offer a crude and clear depiction of it. The author tells twelve different short stories of men who have only one thing in common: the experience of the Iraq War. But this is not simply a book about the war, but also about the consequences that this terrible experience has on the soldiers.
