Most Succinctly Bred

Beschreibung

Most succinctly bred explores war by exploring around war, by operating in the margins. Not merely a collection of essays, this book has a trajectory, and the chapters, appearing in rough chronological order, loop in and out of one another. It is not a narrow autobiography that attempts to account for the writer's life; it uses that life to illuminate the lives of its readers, to tell us about the time and place in which we find ourselves.
