The text frames the record as an account without sensational spectacle, focusing instead on life and disturbing, puzzling moments. It traces emotional resonances from New York in the 1920s to sharp, cinematic impressions during World War II, inviting readers into Tolly’s own recounting of experience.

 \nJOHNCONNORS  \n# TOLLY SOLDIER\n\nA Tale of War  \nby John Conners  \nTolly Soldier:A Tale of War is a satisfyingcomposite of three ever-longer recollectionsof an ex-GI,Tolly.  \nThere are no shots fired in this record,noplanes plummeting from the heavens to shat-ter meaninglessly into a thousand fragments.  \nTolly Soldier is a record of life and some ofone man's disturbing and puzzling moments.  \nThe voice that speaks from these pagesspeaks with the voice of a man who hasworked hard his whole life through and hasknown the feel of sweat tickling between hisshoulder blades and running down his back,soaking the back of his pants.  \nTolly Soldier is an extended soliloquy ofepiphanies;slices of insight that capture amoment's every resonance.  \nTolly Soldier is an extended remembranceof the emotional tapestry of Tolly's experi-ences,from the broad sweep of New YorkCity in the twenties to the painfully sharpfocus of hurtling through a Pullman car'swindow and landing on the bricks of the plat-form of a Utah desert railroad station in aheap of torn palms,frayed fatigues,and puz-zled astonishment.  \nTolly Soldier succeeds and evokes before usthe figure of an aging veteran,Tolly,sittingbefore us and recounting his own tale of theSecond World War.  \nDigitized by the Internet Archivein 2022 with funding fromKahle/Austin Foundation
