| Review: David Abrams' 'Fobbit' is an impressive Iraq war satire |
The author takes a jaundiced view of today's military, setting his debut novel in a place the former Army public affairs specialist knows well.In "Going After Cacciato," Tim O'Brien's brilliantly inventive 1978 novel, the title character seeks to escape the madness of 20th-century warfare by simply walking away from the rice paddies of Vietnam and heading for Paris, some 6,800 miles away. Whether real or imagined, the point of the surreal exercise is to get out of the line of fire — the farther away, the better.
