I knew very early that I was a solitary being. I longed for the
elemental. As a child I was drawn into the wilderness, the reckless
water of oceans, rivers, and rain, the snow and ice floes, the
mountains of rock, stones, and sand, the forests, and the ruins
left vacant by human decline, neglect, and tragedy...War was
wilderness, and I went there, too from the Prologue. "Dust to Dust"
is an extraordinary memoir about ordinary things: life and death,
peace and war, the adventures of childhood and the revelations of
adulthood. Writing with enormous poignancy, Benjamin Busch - a
decorated U.S. Marine Corps infantry officer who served two combat
tours in Iraq, an actor on "The Wire", and the son of celebrated
novelist Frederick Busch-offers an unforgettable meditation on life
and loss, the longing for the elemental and the call of the wild,
and how the curious children we were remain alive in us all.
Elegiac, funny, wistful, deep, and wonderfully human, "Dust to
Dust" moved me to laughter and tears, sometimes
simultaneously...After reading this book, you will want to go
outside and really look at our world. Karl Marlantes, author of
"Matterhorn" and "What It's Like to Go to War".
