Genre Fiction

When a reporter for the Washington Post sees a group of wounded, half-starved, black troops disembark from a helicopter in Cu Chi during the height of the Vietnam War, he senses a story but receives no cooperation from the army or the soldiers. The men, mostly noncombat soldiers, are the remnant of a squad sent on an illegal mission to Cambodia as punishment for their participation in a race riot at Cu Chi base camp. Led by a battle-fatigued sergeant, they fall under enemy fire. Their leader inexplicably disappears, leaving the ill-prepared soldiers to fight the jungle and enemy on their own. Although forced to confront the shock of combat and a deteriorating family life, the reporter pursues the story hoping to uncover the truth about what happened to those soldiers in the jungle. An intriguing glimpse into the Vietnam War, A Long Way Back is a tense journey merging the lives of the soldiers and the reporter as they struggle to overcome their fear and face the battles they must fight to survive.

Something About Ann contains a novella by the same name and eleven short stories. Many of the stories continue the journey of The Seven, a group of Vietnam soldiers who survived a horrific experience in Cambodia. Violence and turmoil continue to haunt the soldiers as they try to normalize their lives after returning to the states. Sometimes relying on the help of each other, and sometimes relying on the skills they’ve gained in combat, most prevail. In the novella, Something About Ann, Clarence Bankston returns from the Vietnam War shaken by his experience. After meeting Ann Minh, a Vietnamese, at a party, his first instinct is to avoid her because she is a reminder of a war he doesn’t want to relive. Once they engage in conversation, though, they bond, recognizing both are affected by the conflict. The peace of mind each seeks, however, eludes them. In the story, The Education of Xavier Warfield, Xavier, a former veteran and promising pool hustler, finds the most important lessons in life aren’t learned in the pool room when he falls for a lady with a questionable past. The award-winning short story, The Last Time I Saw Willie, is a coming of age account of a young middle-class African American who learns the importance of dedication and persistence when he meets Willie Stinson, an orphan. In With One Exception, a militant Erving Robinson’s encounter with Harland Conrad, a white Vietnam veteran, begins on shaky terms but evolves as he helps Conrad fight his demons. In Slow Songs, Lieutenant Raymond Williams faces his worst fear in Vietnam, and it has nothing to do with his personal welfare.
