Angel Down

Présentation

No Man's Land, 1918. Among the mud and the dead, five American soldiers stumble upon something impossible: a fallen angel, wounded, luminous, perhaps the key to ending the war — or to damning every man who touches it. Daniel Kraus tells their odyssey in a single unbroken sentence that rolls like artillery fire, a stylistic gamble that turns the trenches into incantation. A national bestseller and New York Times Top 10 Book of the Year, Angel Down won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2026. War novel, dark fable and formal tour de force at once: the kind of book that divides dinner tables and wins every argument about what fiction can still do.
