Description

In this remarkable debut collection of interlinked stories, written with subtlety and grace, Susan O'Neill -- who served a tour of duty as an army nurse in Vietnam -- offers a remarkable look at that war from a female perspective. For the nurses there, "don't mean nothing" became the mantra of a feigned indifference. Powerful, provocative and often very funny, this is a modern classic of war literature, reminiscent of Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried. Harrowing and moving, Don't Mean Nothing is a book that lingers long in the memory.
