Robert J. Wiersema reviews Juiceboxers for Quill and Quire, giving Benjamin Hertwig’s debut novel a starred review!
From the review: “By immersing readers in this world, in Plinko’s fractured, limited awareness, Hertwig has created not only a thorough examination of the state of modern war and those drawn to it, but a rigorous revelation of contemporary male life and the questioning and failures of masculinity that go far beyond the military arena. At its core, Juiceboxers is an account of how a search for home and family can be subverted and shaped into violence and dubious conformity, and how that search can lead to tragedy. Juiceboxers is a difficult but radiant work – essential reading – for those able to face its bleakness.”
