Summary:
A darkly hilarious story of American youth and masculinity in an age of continuous war. Matt Young joined the Marine Corps at age eighteen after a drunken night culminating in wrapping his car around a fire hydrant. The teenage wasteland he fled followed him to the training bases charged with making him a Marine. Matt survived the training and then not one, not two, but three deployments to Iraq, where the testosterone, danger, and stakes for him and his fellow grunts were dialed up a dozen decibels. With a kaleidoscopic array of literary forms, from interior dialogues to infographics to prose passages that read like poetry, Young's narrative mirrors the multifaceted nature of his experience, dropping us unarmed into Marine Corps culture and laying bare the absurdism of 21st-century war, the manned-up vulnerability of those on the front lines, and the true, if often misguided, motivations that drove a young man to a life at war. A powerful coming-of-age story that maps the insane geography of our times. Combat veteran Matt Young has an MA in Creative Writing from Miami University.
