I write novels and short stories, occasionally poems. My best work is The Second Tour, a literary novel written in the Modernist tradition that explores the full range of the human condition, everything from the ultimate altruism to the ultimate evil. It's a story about a Vietnamese girl whose murder haunts the narrator. And it's a story about that narrator, a low-level Marine, about his descent into spiritual darkness and his life-long struggle to regain some semblance of a meaningful life. |
