Written by a soldier and a poet, this novel is the story of two young men from Seattle, one of whom goes to war, the other to graduate school. Kovite, a former infantry platoon leader in Iraq and currently an army prosecutor whose short fiction appeared in Fire and Forget, and Robinson, a finalist for the Yale Younger Poets Award, have pooled their talents and experiences for this narrative of a friendship that survives across miles, battle zones, and broken dreams, sustained in no small part by the pair’s frequent updates to their own Wikipedia entry.
