Reviews
Although O'Brien's strong anti-war feelings are prominent throughout, his principal interest is fatherhood--specifically, at becoming a father later in his life and realizing that he will miss so much of his sons' lives...A miscellany of paternal pride (and frustration) darkened by the author's increasing realizations of his mortality. -- Kirkus Reviews Winner of the National Book Award in fiction for 1979's Going After Cacciato, O'Brien uses his deft skill of wordplay throughout this latest book....Fans of parenting books, memoirs, and stories of Vietnam War veterans will find enjoyment in these heartfelt words. -- Library Journal
