5.0 out of 5 stars
A striking and terrifying view of war and its aftermath,
This review is from: The Casualty (Norton Paperback Fiction) (Paperback)
These 22 short stories by Heinrich Böll are powerful and moving. Most of the stories are very short, "The Casualty" being the longest (40 pages in this edition). "Vive La France" gives a good description of the passing of time, and is a tense, atmospheric story. "Beside the River" is also especially good, the despair and hopelessness of the story is almost tangible, and the switching of narrators is well done. All in all, I was very impressed with these stories, and am surprised that they are not more widely read.
