Praise for No Fixed Address:
--Patrick Sheane Duncan, Writer, Director, Producer ...a brilliant collection of short stories written by a master storyteller.
--D.S. Literas, author of Viet Man and Flames and Smoke Visible ...David Willson shows off his dry wit and his brilliant storytelling ability as he shines an illuminating light on...the homefront during WWII. Highly recommended.
--Marc Leepson, Arts Editor, the VVA Veteran This story of a melancholy young boy struggling to cope with the impact of WWII on his family and himself is sweet, lovely, and deeply affecting, a window into American history that is uniquely Willson's.
--W.D.Ehrhart, American poet, memoirist, and essayist ...the magician who has broken his wand of savage irony to tell as simply as possible the story of four generations of anger and war and the love and work that a stove-up grandfather could teach.
--Dan Duffy, Viet Nam Literature Project
