As the two review Sam's life, from his childhood in the American South and his time in the French trenches during World War I to a newspaper career in Chicago in the Roaring Twenties and the decades that follow, moments of history are brought sharply into focus. Sam grows up in Louisiana with a harsh father and escapes by enlisting in the army as a sniper. The hardness his father instilled in him helps him make it out of World War I alive, but we come to realize that it also prevents him from contending with the emotional wounds of war. Back in the U.S., Sam moves to Chicago and begins a career as a newspaperman, meets his wife, and has a son, whose fate counters Sam's at almost every turn. As he contemplates his relationships-with his parents, his brothers in arms, his wife, his editor, and most importantly, his son-Sam is amazed at what he still has left to learn about himself after all these years in this heart-rending novel from the Pulitzer Prize winner"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Older men $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Older men $x Family relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Reminiscing in old age $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Veterans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Veterans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fathers and sons $v Fiction. 941 $a 17 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417015755.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409041117.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207021858.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025955.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024259.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728020209.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20220510010741.0 952 $l SXPC124 $d 20220105014654.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20211209010514.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20211118011211.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20211102020730.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20211102011042.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20211029010527.0 952 $l EAPA384 $d 20211018160918.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20211005010714.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20211002010240.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210826010053.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E1E3F1CC063211EC9BB4ECB332ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
