Items related to Crossing Over: The Vietnam Stories
Crossing Over, one of the most beautiful and terrifying works to be written about Vietnam, launched Richard Currey's literary career. This collection of prose poems, vignettes of life during wartime, was begun shortly after Currey finished a four-year stint as a Navy corpsman. Crossing Over was hailed as being "both beautiful and terrifying... it is a work of art, the commonplace book from a terrible era." It was selected as best title of the year by Library Journal.

About the Author:
Richard Currey has been praised for the emotional precision and riveting imagery of his lyrical prose. The London Sunday Times called Currey as "a dazzling writer, almost making you shield your eyes as you read... Currey achieves a stark immediacy that makes you wince." He is the author of four critically acclaimed works, the recipient of numerous awards, including two National Endowment for the Arts fellowships. In addition to Crossing Over, Currey is the author of a short-story collection, The Wars of Heaven, and two novels, Fatal Light and Lost Highway. Fatal Light was short-listed for the PEN/Hemingway Award for Best First Novel and won the Vietnam Veterans of America's Excellence in the Arts Award.
