How fast can a person fall in love? Well, if that person is Lieutenant Bernard
Stanford Hope, that could be a difficult question to answer. At the same time,
there are other questions competing for the Lieutenant's attention. For
instance, how fast can a person get himself killed, if he devotes all his
energies to it? Seems this guy has a knack for getting in trouble.

Enfilade is the story of Second Lieutenant Bernard Stanford Hope's first day in
Vietnam. Hope arrives as fresh as a berry, rosy-cheeked and ripe for picking.
He has invested little time in figuring out how the world works, much less how
the world works when it is at war.
By the end of his first day Hope begins to experience the painful beginnings of
what is commonly called "reality." He is cheated, embarrassed, ridiculed, and
used. And maybe he is in love, but then again, maybe not. He begins to learn
a little about himself and how things work when all the facades are stripped
away, not a lot, but enough to make us think there still might be a future for
him if he can keep from getting himself killed. With B.S. Hope, that's a big
"if."

Not a war story or a love story, just a really GOOD story about a believable guy and his all too believable experiences....
Reader review
Object lessons in crisp dialogue, marvelous characterizations, and surprising jolts of intense action are just a few of the pleasures of Enfilade by James Seeley, who takes us on a whirlwind tour of an Army base in Vietnam in 1966.
The names of the characters, while fanciful, are dead-on target.... The novel is also very much about those immortal opponents: the clever and the clueless. The descriptions of Hope's confusion, Banner's ethical conundrums and Anderson's desolation in the face of grief and loss of hope are moral expositions worthy of philosophers. I could go on. Suffice to say: read this book. As in the best of literature, it will linger with the reader.

About the author of
Enfilade.
Jim Seeley lives with his cat
Louis in a small town in Tennessee (two traffic lights). The pace of life is
relatively unhurried there and conducive to fishing and gardening, activities
he pursues with occasional spasms of intensity. "Setting the scales back to
zero," he calls it. He is the father of two grown daughters who regularly
check on him to make sure he hasn't completely ossified.
