"The Post-War Dream" is the eighth book by American author Mitch Cullin and was published by Random House in March 2008 [ [http://www.randomhouse.com/nanatalese/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780385513296 Random House] ] .

Initial reviews of the novel were mixed, with Kirkus calling it "a misstep in Cullin's unpredictable, adventurous and, alas, frustratingly uneven oeuvre," [ [http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbninquiry.asp?r=1&ean=9780385513296#TABS Kirkus Review at BN] ] and Publishers Weekly dismissing the work as "sterile." [ [http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/biblio?isbn=9780385513296&atch=h&utm_content=You%20Might%20Also%20Like PW review at Powell's] ] But subsequent pre-publication reviews from Booklist [ [http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbninquiry.asp?r=1&ean=9780385513296#TABS Booklist review at BN] ] , Library Journal [ [http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbninquiry.asp?r=1&ean=9780385513296#TABS LJ review at BN] ] , and The Denver Post were positive [ [http://www.denverpost.com/books/ci_8328877 Denver Post review] ] .

In the March 16 edition of the Los Angeles Times Book Review [ [http://www.latimes.com/features/books/la-bk-seaman16mar16,0,7969056.story Los Angeles Times review] ] and, simultaneously published, the Chicago Tribune [ [http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/la-bk-seaman16mar16,1,2736353.story Chicago Tribune] ] , critic Donna Seaman praised the book, stating: "In this exacting, suspenseful, elegiac yet life-embracing novel, Cullin reminds us that no boundaries separate the personal and communal, the past and present, the false and true."
