Beskrivelse
A devastating portrait of war in all its horror, brutality, and mindlessness, this extraordinary novel is written in beautifully cadenced prose. A combat medic in Vietnam faces the chaos of war, set against the tranquil scenes of family life back home in small-town America. This young man's rite of passage is traced through jungle combat to malaria-induced fever visions to the purgatory of life in military-occupied Saigon. After returning home from war to stay with his grandfather, he confronts his own shattered personal history and the mysterious human capacity for renewal.

Jeg læste denne bog i forbindelse med skole, men kan huske at jeg godt kunne lide den selvom det var en bog jeg var tvunget til at læse ... hvilket jo normalt gør læseoplevelsen lidt ringere.
