it's been eight or nine years since i last read this, and it almost, but doesn't quite, hold up. it's still probably the best book i've ever read about what fighting in vietnam-- and coming home-- was really like. even though it takes place in space in the year 3000 or whatever. the writing is uniformly excellent, and thankfully free of that hemingwayian/mailerian macho bullshit. this is just a book about a guy trying to live through madness. it's also very funny, being essentially a satire. not a catch-22 type satire, more like a beckettian satire. my one problem with it this time around is that there really isn't much conflict. i mean, yes, it's a war, and they're trying to survive, and when they come home there's the conflict of trying to fit in in a different world, and there's the conflict inside the army, trying to stay with the people they know and love, but there's never any internal conflict, and the external conflict is always just a matter of plugging away, chugging on through, hoping for the best, because that's all you really can do once you get drafted... the point is, the only way through hell is to go mad and pray... which makes sense, but doesn't exactly make for compelling drama. that being said, it's still up there with my other all-time non-pkd sci-fi favorites: The Genocides, Rogue Moon, The Walking Shadow, Paradox Men, Nova, Time Is the Simplest Thing... maybe i shouldn't have reread it, i don't know... so much of it is the power of the ideas and the crazy A Handful of Dust-type narrative turns it takes...
