I'm far enough into Karl Marlantes' Matterhorn: A Novel of the Vietnam War (Grove Press, 2010) to form an initial response. It's an absorbing read, riveting, filled with meticulous detail. Visceral. Leeches and jungle rot. Soldiers sizing each other up, trying to figure out what's going on around them. Well worth checking out. A lot of telling details about the US-Vietnam War at the micro level, many of them new to me, for sure.
Today's Rune: Signals.
