Publisher's Note
A collection of vignettes by the late Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning author of The Confessions of Nat Turner is culled from abandoned manuscripts based on his experiences as a Marine and features characters who struggle with the rigors and restrictions of military life.

Industry Reviews
"These fragments of thinly fictionalized autobiographical narratives carry the hallmarks of outstanding midcentury American literature, not least in their blurring of fiction and fact, and in their sheer literary exuberance....To read the present collection is to be reminded of [Styron's] talent..."
(10/03/2009)

"[E]xceptionally interesting....[The stories] are strongly autobiographical and very funny, much in the way that the opening section of SOPHIE'S CHOICE is autobiographical and funny; without knowing it, Styron would seem to have been making a practice run for the finest of his novels in this unfinished but tantalizing work."
(10/04/2009)

"Styron chronicles what happens to those damaged by battles they did not fight--those who must dwell always in anticipation of the horrors to come."
(10/11/2009)

"[Styron] writes about the stuff of war with his meticulous eloquence, his habitually sonorous prose and mythopoeic bent. Fear and the rush of bravery take stage center here. The style of these stories is, however, more notable than their substance, and it carries risks."
