Inside a cigar box adorned with images of war, is a collection of pamphlets from various sources and times that one imagines a soldier might have in his footlocker. Many of the items are reproductions of actual Department of Defense publications, such as a 1957 pocket Guide to the Middle East, air raid instructions, recruiting cards, what to do should an invasion happen on US soil, and a manual on nuclear fallout protection. Among other items are character building primers, personal and official correspondence, Communist Party pamphlets, mission briefings, an ad for Civil War pension eligibility, George W. Bush's military dental record, and a horoscope booklet on how those of each sign can help the Republican Party win!
Hidden at the bottom is the actual book of new fiction writing. It's highlighted by T. C. Boyle's amazing novella, "Wild Child," which fictionalizes the real story of a feral child, abandoned to the French forest in the late 1700s, and the attempts to rehabilitate him as he became an object of fascination in Parisian society.
