September 2017 Meeting: Redeployment by Phil Klay
The Literaryswag Book Club celebrated its two year anniversary with a conversation about Phil Klay's National Book Award winning short story collection, Redeployment. We talked about toxic masculinity and its pernicious effects on men, especially those who are sent off to war in foreign lands. The irony, we all agreed, was that these men didn't have to go very far to find a fight because the biggest battle was the one within.
