Praise for The Red Collar "The Red Collar is a superbly crafted
little gem that does everything a novel can do in less than 150
pages [. . .] It's a lucky reader who gets to experience the power
of The Red Collar."
--ShelfAwareness
"Rufin has written a graceful, unpretentious little miracle, a
morality play of immense skill."
--The Irish Times
"The Red Collar has surprising narrative tension, an atmosphere
that is at once breathless and brooding, and the resonance of fine
poetry."
--Books & Beats, KUER Radio
"A beautifully memorable and unusual story about war and what it
does to us."
--The Independent (UK) "What does it mean to fight for what one
loves? To act out of loyalty? Or out of solidarity? In The Red
Collar, a delicate and poetic novel, Rufin examines that which
makes us human."
--L'express (France) "Without special effects, with simplicity and
the pure pleasure of telling a story, Jean-Christophe Rufin
explores the meaning of faithfulness, loyalty, and honor."
--Le Figaro (France) "Rufin is at his best when evoking the complex
blend of political convictions and ideologies that intermingled,
sometimes violently, on the front lines."
--Kirkus Reviews
"The Red Collar may be short but it is a engaging story
perceptively told in limpid prose, beautifully translated by
Adriana Hunter."
--We Love This Book
