Overview

You Forgot About Me is a cycle of five interconnected stories unfolding over the final six months of World War II, moving from the Hürtgen Forest into wards, trains, and hometown streets where ""home"" feels like a rumor. Captain Norman Watt-composer turned infantry officer-can't reconcile leadership with slaughter, and his refusal to harden becomes its own liability. As the fighting recedes, the damage doesn't: a nurse tries to salvage what war has unscrewed from the human spirit; an officer's mind turns the world into a phonograph of repetition; a battle-fatigued witness writes like a man trying to scatter proof into the wind; and a disfigured veteran returns to a Kentucky that has learned to profit without bleeding. Dedicated to the men who fought in the Battle of Hürtgen Forest, this collection doesn't argue motives. It examines the cost-what's carried back in the quiet, and what the quiet carries forward.

Author Information

Kevin Haslam is a Rhode Island-based writer and multidisciplinary artist with a soft spot for New England atmosphere and sharp little human truths. He's the author of Salinger in the Rye-an Amazon bestseller in American Literature Criticism-and he writes literary fiction that's equal parts lyric and bite. A recovering rockstar (yes, really-The Parker Star Band), he still believes in rhythm, big feelings, and making something out of noise. He's also the co-founder of Yoonie Co., an independent creative studio producing original work across writing, visual art, and music.
