War of the Encyclopaedists

War of the Encyclopaedists is a novel by Christopher Robinson and Gavin Kovite. Published by Charles Scribner's Sons on 19 May 2015, the novel follows two friends, Mickey Montauk, a National Guard officer who is deployed to the Iraq War, and Halifax Corderoy, a graduate student at Boston University. The deployment of Montauk separates the two and they stay in touch via editing a Wikipedia entry.

Background
The plot draws from the two authors' personal experiences, Robinson called the main characters "more despicable versions of us". The authors met in 2005 at a poetry program in Rome, writing of this novel started in 2009 and it took around four years. == Critical reception ==
Critical reception
Michiko Kakutani writing for The New York Times claimed that while the article can seem "ad hoc and overly stage-managed" with characters crossing paths with "startling ease", it does so in a "intimate" and "breezy" way, concluding with calling the novel "captivating". == References ==
