The linked stories in Brandon Davis Jennings’ Waiting for the Enemy take readers from the Middle East to the Mojave Desert and back again, revealing a cast of characters that find themselves, unrelentingly, at the intersection of expectation and desire.
Brandon Davis Jennings' collection WAITING FOR THE ENEMY is wry, fierce, and full of heart. I can't wait to see more from this author, but in the meantime, get in on the ground floor and read this collection.
It's been a week since I read this book, and I am still thinking about it, and I have a feeling I will think about it for a long time to come. Jennings writes with clarity and a calm strength, bringing the reader right into the scene. Though fictional, it feels very real, and every story is intense, gripping, and emotionally moving. I highly recommend this collection to anyone who is interested in reading high quality fiction that isn't afraid to stare down the darkness of war. An excellent and important work.
