About this product
Product Information
"Dirty Work" is the story of two men, strangers-- one white, the other black. Both were born and raised in Mississippi. Both fought in Vietnam. Both were gravely wounded. Now, twenty-two years later, the two men lie in adjacent beds in a VA hospital.Over the course of a day and a night, Walter James and Braiden Chaney talk of memories, of passions, of fate. With great vision, humor, and courage, Brown writes mostly about love in a story about the waste of war.

Good packaging, arrived quickly. The only slight issue is that the image used implied the book was signed, but the listing itself never claimed it was signed. I wouldn't say it's completely deceptive, but it is pushing it a little. The price was great either way, so it's inconsequential for this specific listing.
