Ben Fountain, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. A satire set in Texas during the Iraq War

Ben Fountain, award-winning short story author makes a brilliant foray into long-form fiction with Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk (“The Catch-22 of the Iraq War” —Karl Marlantes). A razor sharp satire set in Texas during America’s war in Iraq, it explores the gaping national disconnect between the war at home and the war abroad.
