Meer over het boek
"To call Going After Cacciato a novel about war is like calling Moby-Dick a novel about whales Going After Cacciato is a fully dramatized account of men both in action and escaping from it....Clearly we are dealing here with what the new South American novelists would call 'magical realism'. To combine the two and make the result esthetically convincing is a major achievement." -- The New York Times Book Review "Magical and inspiring...truly incomparable! Every war has its chroniclers of fear and flight, its Stephen Cranes and Joseph Hellers. Time O'Brien joins their number." -- Philadelphia Inquirer Cacciato is one dumb soldier. He is walking away from war. Across mountains and deserts and swamps, hiking the 8600 miles from Vietnam to the lights of Gay Paree. To civilization. To peace. But that's insane. Isn't it? So a squad of fellow soldiers goes after crazy Cacciato. Their mission: bring him back to reality. Or else
