Novels

[edit]

The Flight

[edit]

In reviewing The Flight (Harper Perennial), set on the Eastern Front (World War II), The Irish Times states "With this story...Bryan Malessa joins the ranks of [Nobel Laureate] Günter Grass, Rachel Seiffert and others in taking on the major preoccupations of post-war German literature...and the role of literature in history and memory."[1] In addition, The Independent notes that "The Flight joins a small but growing body of literature on the subject, but the novel does not seek to exonerate the Germans."[2]

The War Room

[edit]

InFinancial Times, Mark Simpson wrote "Billed as 'an epic investigation into America's underbelly,' The War Room has a Catcher in the Rye quality to it, but without the toxicity."[3]

Other works

[edit]

He is also coeditor of Re/mapping the Occident (University of California, 1995) and a journalist whose best-known piece is a widely cited career retrospective interview "Once Was King" with World Champion and three-time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond.
