Walker is a smart guy, living the low life in Los Angeles, where he ends up (maybe because he loves the movies) after being mentally destroyed liberating Europe in 1945. He doesn’t feel a hero though, in the US. Like many other soldiers he feels neglected, the country being too busy with combatting communism and immigration.

He despises it all: the cities, the government, the war, but mostly himself.

Walker’s thoughts are written in a lyrical, dark poetic style, which makes this book unforgettable.
