Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. The chaos of that war in unflinching prose. ( ) Sorry, just couldn't get past page 50. The author's style is simply not for me. I found it all over the place. No specific narrative, non sequitur paragraphs and sentences that were simply too disjointed to read. I have no idea why this book is considered so groundbreaking and amazing? Maybe it was when it first came out, but this style of writing is just not for me. I am also reading The Things They Carried, also about Vietnam. This is an incredible book, and far superior to Dispatches. If you have one book to read about Vietnam, pass on Dispatches and read this one. Reason read: it's on my randomization list and it was available on Libby This is not really a novel but journalism, nonfiction and takes place during the Vietnam War. Michael Herr was an American writer and war correspondent for Esquire. I grew up listening to these stories and seeing the pictures on the TV. Herr explores not only the war, the soldiers, and the people but also the war corespondents that went to Vietnam and reported on the war. He discussed how loyalties of the correspondents to agencies in the US kept them from reporting the realities of the war. This is about Herr's experience in the war so it is a memoir. Not sure how it contributes to the development of the novel except that it reports on the realities of the Vietnam war. It's a quick read but hard to describe as enjoyable with the death, language, attitudes, and behaviors. It's about the men who fought and reported on the war.

"The best book to have been written about the Vietnam War" (The New York Times Book Review); an instant classic straight from the front lines. From its terrifying opening pages to its final eloquent words, Dispatches makes us see, in unforgettable and unflinching detail, the chaos and fervor of the war and the surreal insanity of life in that singular combat zone. Michael Herr's unsparing, unorthodox retellings of the day-to-day events in Vietnam take on the force of poetry, rendering clarity from one of the most incomprehensible and nightmarish events of our time. Dispatches is among the most blistering and compassionate accounts of war in our literature. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
