A soldier's war doesn't end when he leaves the battlefield-it just follows him home.
Sand and Silence is a stripped-down, emotionally raw war novella in the tradition of Hemingway and Tim O'Brien. Set during the First Gulf War, the story follows Private Daniel Keane and his platoon through sandstorms, firefights, burn pits, and boredom. They smoke, dig, wait, fight, and bury their own.
With haunting precision and unflinching honesty, Sand and Silence explores what it means to be a soldier before, during, and after the noise stops.
For readers of The Things They Carried, Jarhead, and Redeployment, this debut from U.S. Army veteran D. Vincent Delorenzo offers a powerful meditation on war, memory, and what we carry home.
