Boy in the Air

Don Bajema

4.9/5 (27141 ratings)

Description:Boy In The Air chronicles the maturing of an American society as juxtaposed with the transformation from adolescence to "adult" of his characters in his short stories. The disillusionment of America as a whole, as it moves from World War II through the Korean War and into the Vietnam War era, is reflected in Bajema's characters own development and refusal to glorify war and a society that feeds on death and destruction. The acceptance that typifies the earlier men who go to war, with a country to back them, is rejected, along with the mores and ideologies of a culture that sends its sons off to fight these wars. Naivety is cast off for anger and experimentation and overall rejection of God, the "American way of life." and all the dogmas attached with such a way of living. The content of Bajema's stories is frank and often graphic. Blood, decapitation, abuse of spouses and children. Alcoholism and death are as integral a part of his world as love and sex and Sunday picnics. Good plays off evil and the two are seen as parts of a whole, irrevocably intertwined and ultimately, equally necessary. While the ton of Bajema's stories is dark, he sends hope and strength out through his characters to the reader.--Slug Mag.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
