Ha Jin, War Trash

20 pages in and I wondered whether I was making a mistake reading this after having so recently read Empire of the Sun. Now, about half-way through, I'm convinced it was an excellent choice. The contrasts, in both plot and narrative point of view, are interesting.

Peter Maass, Crude World: The Violent Twilight of Oil
