Editorial Reviews

Review

"[Gajdusek] provides an in-depth, multi-layered, and personal memoir of his combat experience and its aftermath. Resurrection takes many turns and twists in time and space and is filled with surprising revelations such as finding peace of mind while being a prisoner of war. . . . The ultimate lesson of Resurrection is pro-humanity, not anti-war. That is why stories like these need to be told and read." —North Dakota Quarterly

“Gajdusek’s compelling memoir, Resurrection, A War Journey, is not strictly about facts. Rather, it is his earnest, groping attempt—after more than 50 years—to overpower his ‘recalcitrant mind’ and confront the horrors he has not been able to write about. Using a peripatetic style to get at the truth, Gajdusek jumps from World War II archival material to poetry, short stories, and vivid, terrifying, and sometimes surreal reflections. . . . Like a frantic ancient mariner, Gajdusek transfixes readers with his searing, honest memoir. He invites us, he writes in the preface, ‘to a place you have not been’ to discover ‘what of value can be resurrected from the dying and suffering.’ ” — San Francisco Chronicle

A stunning personal account of the WW II battle of Metz

Bydjunk@english.umass.eduon January 4, 1998

Format: Paperback

Gajdusek's Resurrection astoundingly re-creates his wounding and survival of the World War II battle of Metz. What begins as a garnish of genres--memoir, short story, narrative essay, war history, becomes a smoothly transitioned psychological shocker. What Gajdusek postponed for fifty years to write gives the reader the real thing--war emotions and war imagery. Within a beautifully crafted style, several nights in a shell-hole with frozen and broken legs, an incredible piggy-back ride on a Wehrmacht sergeant's back, and a German operating table in a school hospital under bombardment come alive. The ironies of war and a 19 year old GI's gutsy unwillingness to die become rare and compelling gifts indeed for the reader of these wonderful pages.

Resurrected

ByMauvemarkon November 12, 2001

Format: Paperback

Been teaching this book for 3 terms now: one of the few important "war books" both men & women can participate in, respond to. As one student (Karl-Erik Karlsson) responded: "Gajdusek has written a very good book - no, it is a splendid book... it casts you between hope and despair...he uses the contrast between official military records... and the actual happenings...always searching for the right expressions.... a man so in contact with his imperfect language, it feels perfect...he plays with words, turns them around and studies them carefully...I REALLY enjoyed this book. I dare not call it a novel or anything else genre specific, because it is a transcendental text, crossing the borderlines of genre."

Gajdusek's account of a soldier captured and prevailing

ByA customeron January 5, 1998

Format: Paperback

Robin Gajdusek's extroadinary account of one soldier, wounded and captured, enduring and prevailing, moving through death to rebirth, is one soldier's story that is powerfully told for all soldiers, on all sides, in all wars. Structurally complex, stylistically elegant, this narrative flows through a richness of forms and modes. The terrain of Gajdusek's World War II is a landscape and inscape as luminous palimpsest, as an intricate and compelling act of narrativity where all is redeemed in knowledge carried to the heart. And Gajdusek makes the reader see and feel and believe the facts, the horror, the magic and the mystery, and the great white bird descending and ascending, soaring over the numinous landscape of this remarkable book.

A must read for all soldiers

ByChip Cutler (chipcutler@starpower.net)on November 3, 1999

Format: Paperback

This book is the literary equivalent of Spielberg's cinemagraphic "Saving Private Ryan". Mr. Gajdusek takes you with him on the battlefield with a realism that is frighteningly palpable, yet simply and honestly described. It is a compelling story of the extraordinary mental and physical hardships of the footsoldier in combat. Most valuable, perhaps, is Mr. Gajdusek's treatment of the bizarre emotional conundrums faced by a wounded prisoner. Every soldier and marine should read this book. I dare you to put it down.
