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.-Daniel Kornstein, Wall Street Journal
