The Yellow Birds
by Kevin Powers
by Kevin Powers
“The Yellow Birds” is about a terrible thing that happens in Iraq to a soldier there, and the terrible way his friend, the POV character, deals with that terrible thing, both in the moment and after coming home.
I started off hating this book due to its beautiful prose. I am not saying that I was jealous. I am saying that the beauty of the prose irritated me. I ended up liking it pretty well, despite the beautiful prose. Which still irritated me.
