Old Man in a Baseball Cap: A Memoir of World War II
An uneven but mostly entertaining short memoir of World War II. Fred Rochlin enrolled in a Spalding Gray storytelling workshop; the monologue he created from that experience was turned into this book. Flunking out of the University of Arizona, would-be engineer Rochlin enlisted in the Army Air Corps because "I got very patriotic." Some of his anecdotes have a shaggy-dog quality to them but are still entertaining. The most entertaining aspect is that of a 70-year-old man looking back on his experiences of 50 years before and reflecting on them. As he admits in the preface, these stories were originally written as monologues to be performed. While I suspect they lose something in the translation to the page, they still pack some emotional punches and make a nice addition to anyone's World War II library.
