I Can't Envision An Honest War Novel

My Personal Opinion Is That If Someone Writes Honestly About War, It Will Inherently Be Anti-war.

It Reminded Me Of Talking, How What Is Said Is Never Quite What Was Thought, And What Is Heard Is Never Quite What Was Said. It Wasn’t Much In The Way Of Comfort, But Everything Has A Little Failure In It, And We Still Make Do Somehow.

The Details Of The World In Which We Live Are Always Secondary To The Fact That We Must Live In Them.

There Is A Sharp Distinction Between What Is Remembered, What Is Told And What Is True.

I Understood That 'the Yellow Birds' Would Be A Peculiar Representation Of The Experience Of Being At War. I Intended It To Be So.
