In the tradition of Tim OBriens The Things They Carried, Brian OHares Surrender is a rich collection of coming-of-age stories, a journey into the heart of the American hero myth, from the Friday night football fields of Western Pennsylvania to a battalion of Marines in the Persian Gulf and beyond. But what happens when the crowds stop cheering and the welcome home parades are over? Guilt, fear, and brutality collide with love and acceptance as a diverse cast of characters struggle to reconcile mythology with reality, and to find meaning in a uniquely American chaos. In bittersweet stories with surprising humor, the characters grapple with the choices theyve made and a country they no longer understand. Written in spare and unsentimental prose, yet with a startling emotional punch, these stories, and the unforgettable characters who tell them, will live long in the readers imagination.Brian OHare is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and former U.S. Marine Corps officer.
