William Trent Pancoast's fiction is an unflinching exploration into the working-class condition. He delves deep, exposing the vagaries of labor and weaving them expertly into a meditation on the residual effects of war. Pancoast writes of big, important issues but never strays from the authentic human experience at the heart of them. Told from a number of different perspectives, Of Work and War is a collection every bit as gritty and tough as the grueling work performed by its characters, but it is not without its share of side-splitting humor and world-worn vulnerability, as well. In fact, it's the many facets of what it means to be alive, surviving, while at constant odds with one's circumstances, that is on full display here, and is the element of Pancoast's writing that perhaps captures most the spirit of a people, and should earn his work a place alongside the great proletarian literature of the past and, quite simply, the great literature of any age.--William R. Soldan, Author of In Just the Right Light
