According to UO Veterans and Family Student Association member Jared Smith, most students have had a class with a veteran but “never engaged with a veteran about their experiences.” Phil Klay is author of the 2014 National Book award-winning collection of short stories, Redeployment, in which he joins a long literary tradition of war vets coming home and telling the story of the confl ict in which they served. Klay was deployed as a public aff airs offi cer with the U.S. Marine Corps in Iraq’s Anbar Province from January 2007 to February 2008. After coming back to the U.S., he got his MFA — bringing together his war experiences with a liberal arts education. His stories tell of soldiers forced to shoot dogs eating human corpses and of collecting human remains but also include dark comedy, such as in the story “Money as a Weapons System,” in which a young foreign service offi cer is tasked with improving Iraqi lives by teaching them to play baseball. The Veterans and Family Student Association at the UO presents an evening with Phil Klay, 7 pm Thursday, May 21, in 156 Straub Hall on the UO campus. Klay’s talk, cosponsored by the Oregon Humanities Center, is free and open to the public. It will be followed by a book signing. Eugene Lunch Bunch Toastmas- ters, noon, 101 W. 10th Ave., rm. 316.
