Eleven years after the U.S invaded Afghanistan, 2012 has turned into a banner one for fiction about soldiers' experiences of modern warfare and its aftermath. Interestingly, almost all have been by first-time novelists. Two novels about the war in Iraq – “Yellow Birds” and “Billy Lynn's Long Half-time Walk” – were nominated for National Book Awards and other noteworthy debuts, such as “You Know When All the Men Are Gone,” have garnered rave reviews for their ability to translate into fiction a world few of us in America now experience.
In this week's fiction roundup, young men and women go off to war and struggle to find their way home again. All three novels are highly ambitious works by debut writers, two of them veterans, and all stick close inside the minds of their main characters, whose grip on rational thought might not be as tight as first appears.
