Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this collection of six short works of fiction, author Richard Michael O'Meara puts readers in the boots of infantrymen during the Vietnam War and takes them on a powerful experiential journey.Beginning with basic training and ending with the difficult, often fraught, transition back to ci…vilian life after the war, Going Home for Apples and Other Stories covers most of the aspects of military service during this controversial and often misunderstood period in US history.With great compassion and without judgment, O'Meara marches his characters-and his readers-through boot camp, firefights, court martials, life in the field, and the process of homecoming.Though realistic in his portrayal of the war, O'Meara brings humanity and even moments of humor to his subjects. He paints vivid pictures and then lets those portraits speak for themselves about the price of war and the toll it takes on the people who serve on behalf of those back at home. "A debut collection of short stories detailing the lives of American soldiers. A contemporary trend in military memoirs is to depict a soldier as more of a victim than a warrior, traumatized rather than ennobled by service. Swimming against that current, O'Meara gathers together six fictional stories that celebrate martial honor while still exposing the grim aspects of warfare"--Kirjus Reviews. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - KIRKUS REVIEWThese collected poems trace a soldier's lifetime journey and his experiences of peace and war.O'Meara has written both fiction and nonfiction. This is his first book of poetry, arranged in roughly chronological order from ch…ildhood and adolescence to young manhood during the Vietnam War era and reflective later years. Besides movement along a timeline, the poems also track the speaker's path to self-understanding, as mapped in the opening piece, 'Starting Out.' This is a concrete poem whose diamond shape echoes the speaker's ballooning self-importance -his 'place in the history / of things'-that then narrows to a wiser humility: 'Surprise, it was / never 'bout / me.' O'Meara's voice is flexible, sometimes solemn, sometimes casual, as in 'Michael,' set in the midst of the Vietnam War: 'When I came back / Michael had been dead six months. / There were bands / playin' in Central Park; / Jesus freaks were lovin', / all the world was carin'.' The bright scene, the lines' musical lilt, and the speaker's slangy voice make a powerful ironic contrast with the poem's bitter reflections, nicely capturing the speaker's feelings of loss and anomie. Overall, the poems emphasize the pathos behind even the best memories, because their reality fades: ' 'Course all them ghosts, / the moms 'n dads, / the kids 'n friends, / they wander off.' On some occasions the poems can become sentimental, as in 'For a Soldier': 'Remember him, / For, if he could, / His gaze would reach across the shores / And melt into your heart.' This idealized figure bears little relationship to the more authentic, badly frightened young soldier in 'Nuts,' 'who said / Cuttin' ears. / was the way to go.' Intriguing poems about history and a warrior's trajectory with a strong sense of pathos.
