Changes: The coming of age in the South during the Vietnam War
“She crawled up on the bed with her legs spread apart and reached over to her nightstand. Dipping her hand into a jar of Vaseline, she slathered it generously between her legs while casually informing me that she had been getting it on for hours.”
Set against the backdrop of the early Seventies, when promiscuity and drugs were the “norm” for many Americans. Changes is a fast-paced, no-holds-barred rollercoaster ride through the mind and the libido of a disgruntled high school drop-out, who enlists in the U.S. Army and becomes frustrated at not being sent to Vietnam when so many were avoiding it and quickly becomes addicted to a life of adrenaline, sex and drugs.
With the Anti-War movement at its peak, he becomes increasingly restless, and is drawn to the dark side of life and is soon drug & arms dealing while continuing to notch up a dizzying number of sexual conquests - all the while avoiding any deep and meaningful relationships. However, one woman, in particular, does make a lasting impression on his life.
The very real threat of dishonorable discharge and jail or death is not enough to make him change his ways, and readers will be torn as his lawlessness spirals out of control.
How much of this tale is fact, and how much is fiction? That’s for you to figure out! However, this hedonistic account of army life during the Vietnam War by J.D. Morgan is certain to leave you craving more.
