Reviews
[O]ne of the most important memoirs to come out of the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan...Turner's choice to approach his own story in a way that transcends political narratives, transcends his war, and even transcends himself, makes his memoir exceptional., Brilliant and beautiful. It surely ranks with the best war memoirs I've ever encountered--a humane, heartbreaking, and expertly crafted work of literature., In Brian Turner's extraordinarily capable hands, language is war's undoing, in the sense that his words won't allow absurdity and terror to be anything less than real. My Life as a Foreign Country is lyrical and restless, both ironic and profoundly empathetic., Brian Turner has given us not so much a memoir as a meditation, rendered with grace and wit and wisdom. If you want to know what modern soldiers see when they look at their world, read this book., Turner is the rare soldier-writer who takes a deep interest in Iraqis--their language and literature, their past, their daily doings, their inner lives., [A] praiseworthy example of how the empathetic imagination can function beautifully in nonfiction writing...Turner has a talent for amalgamating disparate experiences, especially between civilian and soldier, but also between history and the present...History can only be served by this kind of attention. Man must look at what he has done. And Turner looks, brilliantly., Turner's voice is prophetic, an eerie calm in the midst of calamity...Achingly, disturbingly, shockingly beautiful., Turner's poetic gaze irradiates his world...[His] memoir is beautiful, electrifying and full of pain., One of the most important memoirs to come out of the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan... exceptional., Turner's poetic gaze irradiates his world. . . . [His] memoir isbeautiful, electrifying and full of pain., A book about these haunted countries and cities, about the haunted past and a haunted man. It haunts us, too, with the knowledge it imparts--and then mocks our attempts to claim that we can ever fully understand that knowledge. In some ways [it's] a story of working through trauma, but above all it's a book about a man, a country, even a species beleaguered by a terrible attachment to war., A book...about the haunted past and a haunted man... A story of working through trauma, but above all it's a book about a man, a country, even a species beleaguered by a terrible attachment to war., Moments of candor and existential longing break open to expose a world of truths...Brian Turner is a born storyteller., Violence . . . mingles by metaphor with dreams, eroticism,history, classical poetry, until the borders between individualsand worlds melt away., In Brian Turner's extraordinarily capable hands, language is war's undoing, in the sense that his words won't allow absurdity and terror to be anything less than real. My Life as a Foreign Country is lyrical and restless, both ironic and profoundly empathetic., A brilliant fever dream of war's surreality, its lastingness, its place in families and in the fate of nations. Each sentence has been carefully measured, weighed with loss and vitality, the hard-earned language of a survivor who has seen the world destroyed and written it back to life. This is a profound and beautiful work of art.
