We tend to write about what will not go away, Doug Anderson says in
this candid, darkly humorous journey of self-discovery. Beginning
in 1943, in the pre civil rights South filled with tobacco and war
stories, he recalls the difficult childhood that propels him into
service in Vietnam. In 1967, having returned home deeply shaken by
his experience as a combat medical corpsman, Anderson plunges into
the heady freedoms and excesses of the sixties. His downward spiral
through booze, substance abuse, and sex brings him dangerously
close to a total breakdown. Finally, in a return group visit to
Vietnam in 2000, he meets with former enemies now become writers
and poets. Moved by the realization that the last time I saw these
people they were trying to kill me, Anderson confronts the past and
calls upon a story this powerful story to rebuild a life.
