Alan Furst, Night Soldiers (1988)
Aug. 13th, 2004 03:26 pmOn the Unity of Night Soldiers (or, How to Become an American)
Alan Furst, in an interview in 2002 [1], suggested that the first of his espionage novels, Night Soldiers, might best be described as a set of novellas. I think that he's being too modest: Night Soldiers is a novel in the classic sense. The protagonist in this case is Khristo Stoianev, and the thing he becomes in the course of the novel is an American.
( It is a novel, and a very good novel at that )
