After serving as a U.S. Marine in Iraq in 2007 and 2008, Phil Klay came home and turned the experience into fiction. (philklay.com)
Iraq War veteran Phil Klay has won the National Book Award for fiction. The judges described the short stories in Klays collection Redeployment as brutal, piercing and sometimes darkly funny.
Klay served as a U.S. Marine in Iraqs Anbar province in 2007 and 2008. He came home and turned that experience into fictional stories, some about being in the combat theater, others about the struggle coming home.
In his emotional acceptance speech last night, Klay said I came back home not knowing what to think. When Dexter Filkins reviewed the book, he called it the best thing written about what the war did to peoples souls.
Klay got started writing for The New York Times online project Home Fires, which featured the writing of veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Peter Catapano at the Times published me and a lot of really just very smart, talented veteran writers, Klay toldHere & Nows Robin Young. Its really important to have a community that is concerned with the same topics, working through the same topics that you are, because you talk ideas with each other, you read others work and are inspired and challenged and have the things that you thought you believed undermined by some really smart thinking.

We shot dogs. Not by accident. We did it on purpose, and we called it Operation Scooby. Im a dog person, so I thought about that a lot.
First time was instinct. I hear OLeary go, Jesus, and theres a skinny brown dog lapping up blood the same way hed lap up water from a bowl. It wasnt American blood, but still, theres that dog, lapping it up. And thats the last straw, I guess, and then its open season on dogs.
