These stories are about women, and men, who served in three combat hospitals in 1969 and 1970. They are interconnected, peopled by one-time \"stars\" and recurring characters, and they deal both with both the minutia of everyday life in wartime, and grander, more over-reaching themes--love and loss, faith and despair, morality, futility, military idiosyncrasy, magic, and the cost to the soul of a year in war's very particular hell. The stories are purely fictional, yet based loosely on the author's experiences, and they are laced as liberally with black humor as with pathos.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Serving House Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45502123114647,"sku":"9780982546277","price":1124.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780982546277.webp?v=1767452790","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/dont-mean-nothing-9780982546277","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
