Publisher's Summary

Miller is unlucky. That's why he's in a foxhole with the rest of Bravo Company. That's why his dad is gone and his mother remarried. That's why his teeth are falling out. Then, when the first sergeant tells Miller his mother has passed away, Miller thinks he's finally gotten lucky. Surely it's another Miller's mother, and now he can get away from the battalion for a couple days thanks to the Army's error. But Miller knows the future rarely has happiness in store.

I liked this story about a guy who hated being in the Army and was happy to have a reason to get a break when he is told his mother died but know it is another person's mother.

Interesting audio book that has an ending this time. I'm not going to say much about this short story because I can't think of anything to say.

Great example of Toby Wolff's style.

Wolff always gets to the heart of the matter. Vivid imagery clean concise writing.
