This novel isn't about seizing the day, it's about experiencing the day. Not pro-life in the way we think of it now. Just as Joe is physically blind, the military is figuratively blind to the suffering they've inflicted on him. Joe is a spectacle, a testament to the miracles of modern medicine. However, the officers in charge of keeping this novelty pulsing and breathing are proud of what their science has accomplished. ![]() ![]() He has memories, feelings, thoughts, dreams and aspirations, but no way to communicate them to anyone. There's no way for his doctors or nurses to identify who he is and no way for them to know that he's fully conscience and mentally active. He's a chunk of meat kept alive by machines and medicine. He slowly figures out that he's in a hospital bed and that his arms, legs, and face have been blown off. He regains consciousness, surprised he's not dead. The protagonist, Joe, is caught in the blast of an artillery shell. Trumbo shoves the blackest atrocities of war right in your face and forces you to confront the consequences of humanity's favorite pastime.

The book, published in 1845, originally entitled Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave, Written By Himself, was met with disbelief when it initially came out.
