Some Kind of Hero
A Novel
Description:... After his first year in a North Vietnamese prison camp Eddie Keller befriends "Spike," a sickly mouse and later, and more importantly, a new cellmate Vinnie Poirier, a man with whom Eddie forms one of the most powerful relationships portrayed in modern fiction. In January, 1973, their friendship is abruptly shattered shortly before Eddie's release. Disconsolate, Eddie is shot back into a new America alien to him after five years as a P.O.W. He returns to San Francisco to a young daughter he's never seen, only to find his wife living with another man, his mother seriously ill, and his money running out. His marriage crumbles and Eddie goes to New York. Precariously balanced against his anger and desperation, Eddie's pungent and compelling humor prevails and soon propels him into two astonishing capers--dust jacket flap.
