Thought I’d sit down and read a chapter, wound up reading half the book. Finished it the next day. What a beautiful, funny, and (yeah) heartbreaking story of what it means to grown up and then make it in America. @eminietfeld @penguinpress

Reading Anderson’s early dispatches is like stepping into a time capsule ... One of the remarkable aspects of Anderson’s reporting is its scope of perspective as well as time ... As deeply humane and profoundly rendered as any I’ve read about Afghanistan, or any other war.
