{"product_id":"fragments-37","title":"Fragments","description":"Fragments is a story about how war can make everything explosive--even love--and how two friends try to put the pieces of their lives together again. \"[Fragments] makes the usual semi-autobiographical account [of the Vietnam War] ...seem flimsy and discursive in comparison...The shapeliness and sense of larger design [is] so elegantly executed in Fragments.\"--Michiko Kakutani, New York Times \"The plot is believable, the characters sharply drawn, the prose clean and distinctive...Stand[s] with Tim O'Brien's Going After Cacciato, James Webb's Fields of Fire, Josiah Bunting's The Lionheads and John Del Vecchio's The 13th Valley...A strong, compelling novel.\"--Marc Leepson, Washington Post \"There have been many books on Vietnam, and there will be many others. This is more a novel than the rest...Fuller has reassembled the exploded grenade.\"--Bob MacDonald, Boston Sunday Globe \"Should our children ask about Vietnam, we would not go wrong to place this book in their hands...[Fragments] purveys more than information--it gives the war a literary form.\"--David Myers, New York Times \"The best novel yet about the Vietnam War...It ranks with Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead and James Jones's From Here to Eternity.\n\"--Daniel Kornstein, Wall Street Journal","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54250656989528,"sku":"9780226268866","price":28.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780226268866_1ee8409d-0006-4296-89d0-a0c6085cb3dd.jpg?v=1771307136","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/fragments-37","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
