Why read it?

1 author picked Trinity Fields as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Morrow takes us from Los Alamos in the 1950s to 1970 Laos to today. It's about the generation born with the atomic bomb, had to deal with Vietnam, and mature into the end of the century. How did I come by this book? I asked Joyce Carol Oates to recommend a good archivist. She passed on my request to Bradford Morrow, who was generous with his advice. In turn, I thought I should read his work, and started with Trinity Fields. Very glad I did, and I will continue reading him.
