More On “The Forever War”

Written by sea gothman on . Posted in Courtney.

Last week I mentioned that I was reading The Forever War and that I wanted to hear from Richard K. Morgan about it.  Richard just got back to me via Pete:

When I finished The Forever War I actually thought to myself that this is the best book I’ve ever read.  Whether it is or not is irrelevant.  The book is amazing.

From Richard:

Yeah, The Forever War is great.  Haldeman was really there, he served as a combat engineer in Vietnam, was injured in the fighting and invalided home.  The book’s a brilliant metaphor for veteran dislocation.  I met Joe in Gijon a couple of years ago, along with his wife Gay – really lovely couple.

There you have it.

WFNX has been a cool station since the eighties.  Check out some of the names on these reels.

The Forever War

I haven’t finished this book yet but man, it’s fuggin genius. Get it. Basically a war novel, it’s setting is a really amazing dystopian view of the future.  Incredibly detailed and well considered in regards to every concept he puts in.  And there’s a lot of em.

I’m having Pete ask Richard K. Morgan about it cuz he’s my favorite uber modern writer.  (Another Warhols fan. Pete met him when Richard was on book tour.)  If he has, I’ll post what he says.

And check out “Altered Carbon” by Richard K. Morgan.  This also mind-blowing book deals with a plausible future and how class structure/technology could play out.  Richard’s “voice” as a writer is so cool.  Dude is awesome.
