About this title

Synopsis

Battle Rattle and Other Stories brings together Brandon Davis Jennings’s acclaimed war fiction, including the bestselling Kindle Singles Battle Rattle and Waiting for the Enemy, along with the novel High Desert Rats.

At the center of the collection is Derrick Vezchek: a boy shaped by the Mojave Desert, a soldier marked by Iraq, and a man trying to endure the violence he has carried home. These linked stories move from drunken adolescence and military restlessness to deployment, friendship, marriage, fatherhood, and the emotional wreckage that follows men long after they hang their uniforms up for good.

Written by an Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran, Battle Rattle and Other Stories is not a patriotic war story or a simple homecoming narrative. It is literary fiction about masculinity, memory, damage, loyalty, and the strange ways war follows people into kitchens, garages, marriages, bars, and childhood bedrooms.

For readers of Phil Klay’s Redeployment, Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried, Denis Johnson’s Jesus’ Son, and contemporary fiction about the moral and emotional aftermath of war.

Includes:
Waiting for the Enemy
Battle Rattle
High Desert Rats

About the Author

Brandon Davis Jennings is an Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran from West Virginia. His best-selling Kindle Single Battle Rattle was selected as an Amazon "Best Book of the Year" in 2016 and was selected for Amazon's Prime reading program and produced as an audiobook by Audible this year. After completing his Ph.D in English, Jennings decided that the best way he could use the skills he acquired during ten years of college was as a stay-at-home dad. He stays home with his daughter, two dogs, and two cats, writing when he's not otherwise occupied by the millions of tasks that other stay-at-home parents failed to warn him about. He is currently at work on multiple novels, and an essay collection: Operation Iraqi Freedom is My Fault due out from Little Presque Books this year.
