Dispatches, by Michael Herr

Please read 85 pages or so by Thursday. The reading is not difficult linguistically, but it is emotionally rigorous, so do a bit at a time. The writing is also pretty amazing, so pause over some of it (if Flannery O'Connor had been a war reporter, she might have written this book). Prof. Mark Heberle will be joining us on Thursday, and will talk to us about Vietnam War literature. Be prepared to ask him questions; he's extremely knowledgeable on the subject.

Hope your weekends go well.

aloha, Susan
