Living Dangerously: In Sweet Delusions And Datelines From Shrieking
Hell is a history-driven story casting a wide net over the Vietnam
War, called the most important event of the second half of the
twentieth century. It is a story with flashbacks and live action,
from the battlefield to the bedroom, politics and the military, to
a his-her war of sweet, bitter, and brave love. Jim Jordan is a war
correspondent reporting on the wildest, weirdest, and most
impossible conflict ever. Susanna Robinson is a young beauty, more
complex than the curvy little beach bombshell she seems. Susanna
endures both the shooting war and the grab-and-growlers (chief
among them a brilliant English wordsmith and scumbag). This is
1968, a year like no other - riots, protests, assassinations,
radical cultural changes, and an array of memorable characters
caught in Vietnam's shattering Tet Offensive. Shades of soldiers,
women, and news-types, including cognac-nipping, Sean Donlan, a
fainting French photographer, who'd rather be shooting his bony
beauties along the Seine, a passionately anti-war female
correspondent, and the old English, America-despising scoundrel
by-lined E. Drudgington Blow. Winston Churchill he is not. Tales
emerge of courage and puking-in-the-dust cowardice, of gritty-funny
realism. Full of fury and fright, tortured rights and wrongs,
Living Dangerously captures the essence of great war novels such as
The Red Badge of Courage and Catch 22.
