Originally published as an e-book, this was short-listed as a 2001 Frankfurt e-book Award Finalist along with works by Joyce Carol Oates and David McCullough. A realistic novel of combat in Vietnam by a man who was there.
What sets this novel apart is Melcher's voice. Clayton portrays Carl Melcher as a mild-mannered naif -- a guy who, to his bafflement, is constantly buffeted by life's big currents. "Things just happen to me," Melcher says, "as if I have no say, and then I react." That is a far cry from most first-person war novel protagonists, who tend to be jaded iconoclasts who make things happen to other people.

Carl Melcher Goes to Vietnam
It was a rainy weekend so I finished reading Carl Melcher Goes to Vietnam. Paul Clayton is seemingly in my generation. The references to Herman Hesse's Siddhartha gave it away. He was a popular author during my high school years. The book is short, simple yet it draws you forward with an odd, motley set of characters that rings true to life.
