X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Salvatore Scibona's first novel\,&nbsp\;<e
 m>The End\,</em>&nbsp\;was a finalist for the National Book Award and winn
 er of the Young Lions Fiction Award. His work has won a Guggenheim Fellows
 hip\, a Pushcart Prize\, an O. Henry Award\, and a Whiting Award\; and the
 &nbsp\;New Yorker&nbsp\;named him one of its "20 Under 40" fiction writers
  to watch. He is the Sue Ann and John Weinberg Director of the Cullman Cen
 ter for Scholars and Writers at the New York Public Library.</p>\n<p><em>T
 he Volunteer</em>&nbsp\;begins as a small boy speaking an unknown language
  is abandoned by his father at an international airport. In order to under
 stand this heartbreaking scene\, the story must return to the moment\, dec
 ades earlier\, when a young man named Vollie Frade enlists in the United S
 tates Marine Corps to fight in Vietnam. From the Cambodian jungle\, to a f
 lophouse in Queens\, to a commune in New Mexico\, Vollie&rsquo\;s path tra
 ces a secret history of life on the margins of America\, culminating with 
 an inevitable and terrible reckoning. An odyssey of loss and salvation\,<e
 m>&nbsp\;The Volunteer</em>&nbsp\;is a triumph in the grandest traditions 
 of American storytelling.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\nhttps://akronlibrary.libnet
