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.
