Synopsis
A paradigm for perceiving the Vietnam War and the literature it produced
Booknews
Through analysis of selected Vietnam War fiction, poetry, and drama, this cultural critique argues that, instead of cultivating the myth that Vietnam was unique by trying to make it make sense, we should accept the Vietnam War's non-sense, its illogic, and the mandates of absurdity as the fundamental elements that govern our perceptions of the war.
