Iraq veteran and author Phil Klay wins the 2014 National Book Award for fiction for his debut collection of short stories called "Redeployment."

A couple of weeks ago Take Two brought you an interview with U.S. Marine Corp veteran and author Phil Klay about his book "Redeployment."

It's a collection of short stories about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that explores the everyday experiences of soldiers, from the combat zone to the home front.

And as of Wednesday night, it's also a winner of the 2014 National Book Award for fiction.

Phil Klay joins Take Two to talk about winning the award and what's next for him.
