基本信息出版社:Twelve (2012年6月5日)精装:375页正文语种:英语ISBN:1455513512条形码:9781455513512ASIN:1455513512商品描述内容简介Following the success ofJarhead, Anthony Swofford assumed he had

exorcised his military demons -- but as every veteran knows, that isn't

exactly how it works. In these searing, courageous pages, Swofford

struggles to make sense of what his military service meant, and to

decide -- after nearly ending it -- what his life can and should become.

Consumed by drugs, booze, fast cars and the wrong women,

Swofford almost lost everything and everyone that mattered to him.

Embarking on a series of RV trips with his dying father, a Vietnam vet,

in an attempt to heal their difficult relationship, and meeting a

like-minded woman (who will become his wife) in a chance encounter,

Swofford begins to grapple with his volatile past and forge a path

toward redemption.

HOTELS, HOSPITALS, AND JAILSis a must-read memoir that raises essential questions about masculinity, about fathers and sons, and about love.媒体推荐"Anthony Swofford has given us a complex, unflinching, loving, and sometimes harrowing memoir. Candid as a locomotive, written with fury and grace, this book has a dangerous, achingly desperate personality of its own. I was shaken and moved."

(Tim O'Brien, author ofThe Things They Carried)

"Swofford has done an amazing job showing how war plays out in peoples' lives for years after they come home. I read this book with the eagerness one usually reserves for fiction. It is a tremendous look into one man's attempt to replace war with life." (Sebastian Junger, author ofWAR)

"Following Swofford's struggle to come to terms with a difficult father and his experience of war- and the two are intertwined-we soon realize that this writer is making easier our struggles against leading a parent's life instead of our own. He blazes a trail for all of us with honesty and skill, gem after gem. Swofford is quite simply the master of the metaphor. The chapter describing his visit to Bethesda Naval Hospital will break your heart and it should." (-Karl Marlantes, author ofMatterhorn: A Novel of the Vietnam WarandWhat It Is Like To Go To War)

ACCLAIM FORJARHEAD

"By turns profane and lyrical, swaggering and ruminative,Jarheadis not only the most powerful memoir to emerge thus far from the last gulf war, but also a searing contribution to the literature of combat." (New York TimesMichiko Kakutani)

"A brutally honest memoir... gut-wrenching frontline reportage." (Entertainment Weekly, onJarhead

)

"Jarheadis a stunning success... Swofford has created what may become a classic of modern war literature, a Gulf War addition to the shelf holding Vietnam narratives such as Michael Herr's Dispatches and Philip Caputo's A Rumor of War." (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

"A bayonet in the eye...brutal and unforgettable." (Sacramento Bee, onJarhead

)

"If you want a clear-eyed sense of what might be going on today in the staging areas surrounding Iraq, a view stripped of cant, hypocrisy, and the bloated lies of officialdom, readJarhead." (Newsweek

)

"Without war there would be no war stories, andJarheadis one of the best-loopy, stoned, its prose is like three heavy metal bands playing three separate songs at once. It honors the literature of men at arms." (New York Review of Books)
