Along with so many other Americans of my generation in an era of economic depression that had not truly passed, I’d been biding my time, waiting in numb hope for some unknown, defining reality finally to pop up that would clarify the course I should follow, wind me up, and start me on my way.
We had not thought it would be a war.
” Joseph Heller, “Now And Then: From Coney Island To Here”
