Reviews
"An unforgettable, unshakable novel." --The New York Times Book Review "The writing, the characters, and the plot are so compelling that you can't help but stay with the book until its conclusion." --Washington Post Book World "There has been no antiwar novel . . . quite like Larry Brown's Dirty Work." --The New York Times "One of the most powerful antiwar novels in American literature." --The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "A marvelous book . . . Brown's swift, intuitive dialogue explodes like a land mine and leaves the reader dizzy with shock." --The Kansas City Star "A real knockout." --New York Newsday "A powerful and original work all its own that moves along in short, staccato chapters with indisputably authentic language." --The New York Times "Stunning power . . . Dirty Work makes the human cost of war achingly real." --USA Today "An unsparing book, at once brutal and compassionate, horrible, yet funny, too." --The Philadelphia Inquirer "Courageous . . . It's hard to imagine a more powerful effect than the one Brown creates with his attentive, unsparing prose." --St. Louis Post-Dispatch "[Brown] has created two fully realized, believable--and often very funny--characters . . . No one who reads this book is likely to forget them." --The Houston Post "A novel of the first order . . . A gem." --The Washington Post, "An unforgettable, unshakable novel." --The New York Times Book Review "The writing, the characters, and the plot are so compelling that you can't help but stay with the book until its conclusion." --Washington Post Book World "There has been no antiwar novel . . . quite like Larry Brown's Dirty Work." --The New York Times "One of the most powerful antiwar novels in American literature." --The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "A marvelous book . . .

Synopsis
"Dirty Work" is the story of two men, strangers--one white, the other black. Both were born and raised in Mississippi. Both fought in Vietnam. Both were gravely wounded. Now, twenty-two years later, the two men lie in adjacent beds in a VA hospital.Over the course of a day and a night, Walter James and Braiden Chaney talk of memories, of passions, of fate. With great vision, humor, and courage, Brown writes mostly about love in a story about the waste of war., Depuis plus de 20 ans, le Pentateuque en général et la Genèse en particulier font l'objet d'un vaste débat parmi les spécialistes de la Bible. Les traditions qui constituent ce livre ont certainement une longue histoire que les historiens s'efforcent de retrouver. Aujourd'hui, cependant, les exégètes étudient principalement le processus de rédaction entamé sans doute lors de l'Exil à Babylone et qui a conduit au livre tel que nous le connaissons. D'autres s'attachent à la forme finale de la Genèse pour l'étudier comme un des chefs d'oeuvre de la littérature israélite ancienne. Les articles présentés dans ce livre reprennent ces questions en vue de nourrir le débat et de faire progresser notre connaissance du premier livre de la Bible hébraïque.Le présent ouvrage constitue les Actes des travaux du 48e Colloquium biblicum Lovaniense qui s'est tenu en juillet 1999 à Louvain et dont le thème était le livre de la Genèse., Dirty Work is the story of two men, strangers--one white, the other black.

- e***- (122)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufUnfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.How to chalk talk, by Harlan Tarbell (Nr. 197064259889)
