Synopsis
The Nuclear Age is about one man's slightly insane attempt to come to terms with a dilemma that confronts us all--a little thing called The Bomb. The year is 1995, and William Cowling has finally found the courage to meet his fears head-on. Cowling's courage takes the form of a hole that he begins digging in his backyard in an effort to "bury" all thoughts of the apocalypse. Cowling's wife, however, is ready to leave him; his daughter has taken to calling him "nutto"; and Cowling's own checkered past seems to be rising out of the crater taking shape on his lawn, besieging him with flashbacks and memories of a life that's had more than its share of turmoil. Brilliantly interweaving his masterful storytelling powers with dark, surreal humor and empathy for characters caught in circumstances beyond their control, Tim O'Brien brings us his most entertaining novel to date. At once wildly comic and sneakily profound, The Nuclear Age is also utterly unforgettable.

    The book was in fantastic condition for its age. I wasn’t keen about it being shipped in a plastic bag, no box. If I’d known that, I would have gladly paid more for shipping. That said, it did miraculously arrive in great condition. I would recommend this seller, but perhaps communicate/be willing to pay more for shipping in a box next time.

    Book was in condition described at a great price, although it received minor damage during shipping due to being unprotected in a mylar envelope instead of a box. Fast shipping. Another smooth transaction from a consistently outstanding seller. Recommended!
