Every soldier carries a houseplant. If your plant dies, it’s treason.
“Like a kind of environmental reworking of Matt Darby’s ‘The Sound Gun or Craig Padawer’s 'The Meat Garden,' Missives takes a military coming of age story and torques it into something absurd—and yet, it remains human and moving. It refuses to play realism’s game, but still offers more of realism’s payoff than most so-called realistic stories.”
