Buffalo Afternoon
"Remarkable . . . The entire Vietnam experience [in] one epic narrative." The New York Times Book Review
For Pete Bravado, the war begins with home and family in Brooklyn: his grandfather's broken dreams, his father's ice-hard heart, his mother's tragic affection, and his own disillusionment and delinquency. Raised against the grain of his true nature, Pete seeks escape in the army — but instead of finding freedom, he finds a madness in himself that answers the madness of war. And when he comes home, a new struggle begins — a struggle to see what the war has made him, so he can begin to remake himself.
