Waging Heavy Peace

“Terrific: modest, honest, funny and frequently moving…Waging Heavy Peace takes the form of a diary, a life-in-the-day structure that gives Mr. Young room to maneuver, as he takes us on a wander round his memory palace…In many ways, the closest antecedent to Waging Heavy Peace may be Laurence Sterne’s 1760 masterpiece, Tristram Shandy…Elegance itself.”
