Hugh Blanton's thoughts on Fight for Your Long Day arrive after his consideration of Auggie's Revenge.
Alex Kudera’s award-winning novel, Fight for Your Long Day (Atticus Books), was drafted in a walk-in closet during a summer in Seoul, South Korea. Auggie’s Revenge (Beating Windward Press) is his second novel. His numerous short stories include “Frade Killed Ellen” (Dutch Kills Press), “Bombing from Above” (Heavy Feather Review), and “A Thanksgiving” (Eclectica Magazine).

#fridayreads: 9/11 edition
Fight for Your Long Day is more of a War on Terror than 9/11 novel, but I'm sure that the good folks at interlibrary loan would want you to access a copy. If purchases are more to your pleasure, then shipped paperback copies of Auggie's Revenge and Fight for Your Long Day remain available at reasonable prices. There are also affordable copies of Auggie's Revenge at Apple Books, on eBay, and for Kindle as well as at Bookshop and Smashwords.
