Looking for fictional or biographical books about WWI veterans struggling to adjust to civilian lives in the post-war period. Preferably veterans from the losing side.

Already read The Outlaws by von Salomon (not a WWI vet but lived in the period and was a solider).

holy fuck triggered
>>
Graves' Good-Bye To All That is partially about your question.

Borchert's The Man Outside is all about a returning veteran and how he can't adjust, but of WW2.

Brittain's Testament of Youth is a bit more of the female perspective of a WW1 nurse and what she struggled with after the war.

>>8092469
whose grave is that?
>>
>>8092541
Erected to honor and naming everyone from a village that had fallen in one of the world wars.

Joseph Roth's "The Spider's Web" might interest you, the protagonist is like you described, though it takes a different turn than most books about veterans post-war.

>>8092540
Also strongly seconding The Man Outside if you're not dead-set on WWI.
>>
The Road Back by Remarque. It's exactly what you are looking for.
>>
>>8092748
Funny you should suggest Roth, I was planning on reading Radetzky March as my next book.
>>
Storm of Steel by Ernst Junger.

It's exactly what you're not looking for.
>>
>>8092774
Read it already and enjoyed it.

>a land fit for heroes
No fantasy please.

>>8094990
Read it.
>>
>>8096299
not that one you idiot
look further down the results
a land fit for heroes was a phrase politicians used to describe post ww1 britain
>>
>>8092469
Obviously Remarque.
>>
For Esme with love and squalor by salinger
>>
Journey to the End of the Night
The Razor's Edge
Hemingway had a few short stories, Soldier's Home, Big Two-Hearted River (though the war isn't actually mentioned, muh iceberg), Now I Lay Me, In Another Country, A Way You'll Never Be)
Technically, you could include The Sun Also Rise and A Farewell to Arms as well.
