Gritty American War Tales By John Phillips
Dress Whites
And other stories
A GLIMPSE INSIDE “DRESS WHITES” BY JOHN PHILLIPS
“Tucked off The Strip, a seedy Vegas motel becomes the last refuge for five haunted strangers. They drink cheap booze, tell half-truths, and build something that almost feels like family. But salvation is fragile.”
Stories off home-front lives gutted by war
INTRODUCING THE SHORT STORIES THAT SHAPE JOHN PHILLIPS’ POWERFUL DEBUT
From a Marine Corp boot camp to a skuzzy Vegas motel, to a 23-year old war widow, Phillips carves out forgotten iives devastated by a war that everyone wants to forget ever happened.
Often overlooked in the tragedy of the Vietnam War are the shattered lives of those left behind on Main Street America while their loved ones go to war. Through his visceral debut short story collection, Phillips takes readers on jarring trips to see and feel it all. The stories speed from a dingy Vegas motel to the torn life of a 23-year-old war widow to a boxer putting his life on the line to find his daughter to ducking the draft to a feral street hustler, to a young immigrant girl trying on prom dresses, searching for the American Dream to a veteran’s tragic encounter with police and to a brother’s random, brutal revenge springing from his tortured mind.
