    Summary

    Joe lets his eyes rake over Webster's face, whose eyes are distant and features striking in lamplit profile. His hair is a little overgrown, his hands large and scuffed where they bring the bottle up to his lips, his jaw sharp where it connects with—

    "Holy shit," Joe mutters, leaning in before his half-drunk brain can warn him that this might not be a good idea. "Are your fuckin' ears pierced, Web?"

    ----

    Or, what do you get when you combine German liquor, the giddy final days of war, and a couple of soldiers who have had just about enough of dancing around each other? If you're Joe Liebgott, the answer is an amateur piercing done by a Harvard dropout, of course.

    Summary

    Normally, he would love all the red. Red is such a beautiful color. But knowing it’s blood, let alone the blood of men he feels like he’s known his whole life, makes him feel nauseous.

    Summary

    Charlie Dalton and Ginny Danbury are the world's most unlikely pair of comrades. They hardly know each other. Ginny knows Neil, and Todd, and Chris, who knows Knox, and all four of them know Charlie: but past cast parties and birthdays, Charlie couldn't say he's ever had a solid conversation with the woman. But when they're nineteen, and Charlie's heartbreak has gone on too long, all it takes is for her to yell at him from the third story of the girls' dormitory at Welton College for him to come running on drunkard's feet.

    Summary

    It’s not until 1973 that Charlie thinks it isn’t all a dream. Knox has his head in the toilet, there’s a groupie smoking in his connected room, and it hits Charlie all too suddenly that this isn’t what he wanted when he and Meeks decided drunkenly one night they’d start a band. 

    Or: a portrait of the first few years and final decisions about their band, Letters From The Fight.
