Started slow, nearly gave up about a third in. Glad I didn't. My objections to the first part -- where's this all going, why does the format of a written confession seem so forced, or maybe so half-assed -- were satisfied by the end. Not a Great Book but I can see why it won the Pulitzer.
And man it's good to read books by people of color about themselves and their stories. White consciousness of the Vietnam War is, obviously, profoundly limited. Mine being no exception. So this book was an education, too.
