CORRECT BUT WISH TO EXPLAIN is a gritty, heart-forward coming-of-age novel about two brothers-in-arms who enter a military institute as boys and leave as different kinds of men. Mixing the brotherhood and institutional pressure of The Lords of Discipline with the blue-collar candor of This Boy's Life, it traces Ethan Cole's path from class clown to cadet, through hell weeks, moonshine mistakes, forced marches, and one final act of defiance that sets up the next stage of his life.
