Praise for No Fixed Address:
"In the fine tradition of Tony Early and Homer Hickam, this book touches you on every page."
--Patrick Sheane Duncan, Writer, Director, Producer
"...a brilliant collection of short stories written by a master storyteller."
--D.S. Literas, author of Viet Man and Flames and Smoke Visible
"...David Willson shows off his dry wit and his brilliant storytelling ability as he shines an illuminating light on...the homefront during WWII. Highly recommended."
--Marc Leepson, Arts Editor, the VVA Veteran
“This story of a melancholy young boy struggling to cope with the impact of WWII on his family and himself is sweet, lovely, and deeply affecting, a window into American history that is uniquely Willson’s.”
--W.D.Ehrhart, American poet, memoirist, and essayist
“…the magician who has broken his wand of savage irony to tell as simply as possible the story of four generations of anger and war and the love and work that a stove-up grandfather could teach.”
--Dan Duffy, Viet Nam Literature Project

About the Author
David Allen Willson was born in Seattle, Washington, on June 30, 1942, on what his mother remembered as the hottest day of the summer. During WWII, while his father served as a Marine on Iwo Jima, he lived with his mother in a series of tourist cabins in California, in his maternal grandmother’s Seattle Basement, and in a boxcar in Montana.
He learned to write in first grade in Missoula, Montana, and realized then that he wanted to grow up to write books—probably about war, as there was so much of it to write about. As fate would have it, he had the chance to experience war first-hand—appropriately, behind a typewriter: he was drafted into the U. S. Army in the ‘60’s and sent to Viet Nam. He was the best soldier he knew how to be, and he received the Army Commendation Medal for his service in the Inspector General’s Office.
For war writing, he has published three semi-autobiographical novels: REMF Diary, The REMF Returns, and In the Army Now. And now this volume.
David has been the editor of Viet Nam Generation Journal, and a contributor to Vietnam War Literature: An Annotated Bibliography. He has been a regular reviewer of war literature for both print and on-line editions of VVA (Vietnam Veterans of America) Veteran, and has authored many other articles for the magazine, including an account of his VA treatment for Multiple Myeloma, related to the Agent Orange he was exposed to in the water at Long Binh, where he served in Viet Nam
