This is the true story of Second Lieutenant Leonard J Kovar and his battle to survive as a prisoner of war during World War II, as told by him. Mr. Kovar was a bombardier/navigator on the plane Con Job when it was shot down on its 11th mission. His story begins with the aerial dogfight, continues as his plane is hit and he parachutes out in the middle of a dogfight and during his flight through enemy territory as he struggles to get back to Allied lines while facing heat, hunger, thirst, and death from enemy soldiers and angry civilians. It also details his eventual capture and his battle to survive imprisonment in spite of hunger, illness, and death marches. Mr. Kovar first wrote this story shortly after returning from the war. At around the same time, his mother also questioned him at length and wrote down the story of his experience in a piece for one of her classes. Mr. Kovar has taken his and his mother’s writings, along with several letters, wires, photographs and other items he collected from that period in his life, to complete his story. His is a candid telling of life as a prisoner of war at the end of World War II as he struggles to survive the death marches in advance of an oncoming Russian military push during the worst winter storm ever recorded in European history. He provides unique insight into the interactions between American and German soldiers that is rarely seen in this kind of story. He has left nothing out. This story is a fresh look at a war that has faded into history but has not faded from people’s minds.

Dandyism

Forming Fiction from Modernism to the Present

By: Len Gutkin

The "dandy," a nineteenth-century character and concept exemplified in such works as Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, reverberates in surprising corners of twentieth- and twenty-first-century culture. Establishing this character as a kind of shorthand for a diverse range of traits and tendencies, including gentlemanliness, rebelliousness, androgyny, aristocratic pretension, theatricality, and extravagance, Len Gutkin traces Victorian aesthetic precedents in the work of the modernist avant-garde, the noir novel, Beatnik experimentalism, and the postmodern thriller. As defined in the period between the fin de siècle and modernism, dandyism was inextricable from representations of queerness. But, rinsed of its suspect associations with the effeminate, dandyism would exert influence over such macho authors as Hemingway and Chandler, who harnessed its decadent energy. Dandyism, Gutkin argues, is a species of gendered charisma. The performative masquerade of Wilde’s decadent dandy is an ancestor to both the gender performance at work in American cowboy lore and the precious self-presentation of twenty-first-century hipsters. We cannot understand modernism and postmodernism’s negotiation of gender, aesthetic abstraction, or the culture of celebrity without the dandy. Analyzing the characteristic focus on costume, consumption, and the well-turned phrase in readings of figures ranging from Wyndham Lewis, Djuna Barnes, and William Burroughs to Patricia Highsmith, Bret Easton Ellis, and Ben Lerner, Dandyism reveals the Victorian dandy’s legacy across the twentieth century, providing a revisionist history of the relationship between Victorian aesthetics and twentieth-century literature.
