1Q1A Matt Young Eat The Apple
Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. Today our guest is Matt Young, author of Eat The Apple, published in February by Bloomsbury. I have interviewed so many people from the Clegg agency and have interviewed Bill himself. He is an amazing agent. [insert books?]
Eat The Apple is not a novel and it is not a diary and it is not a standard narrative of war or of being a soldier. It is not stream of consciousness nor is it a dialogue on war.
It’s more a reliving of a time. A time of Marine training, of three deployments to Iraq, a kind of a dream, a diagram, sometimes in the first person, sometimes in the second, sometimes a picture of Matt’s body and a self-diagnosis of pain, physical and psychic. Sometimes comically.
Whatever it may be, or what you feel it may be, it won’t easily be forgotten.
