Dennard Dayle has written a laugh out loud satire about the Civil War. It’s both risky and ambitious and he pulls it off beautifully in How to Dodge a Cannonball. It’s a novel about Anders, a man totally unequipped to handle the horrors of the Civil War, in which he switches sides three times. How to Dodge a Cannonball is moving, the language is both intense and incredible, and it will make you giggle at things you never thought possible. Considered one of America’s great “moral” wars, this Civil War book pokes fun at everything from racism to royalty. Take your time and get lost in Dennard’s satiric world. We are so glad we did.
