William Boyd's "Yankee Station" is a series of short stories, the longest part of which provides the title for the series. This special story is a wonderful short story, not just a short story, it faces several big problems in less than twenty-five pages, while drawing its role in quite complex details.
During the Vietnam War, it was located on an aircraft carrier in the South China Sea and described the confrontation between the two crew members. Pfitz is a pilot who realizes and appreciates his perception and actual state. He does not hesitate to stick to his own advantages. But this tension is sometimes overused. It is as if he needs to feel his identity to strengthen his self-image. In short, he is a bully. When the event conspires to question his own abilities and his right to this state of nourishment, this characteristic begins to dominate his thoughts and actions.
Lydecker is the ground crew of Pfitz. I just want to say that Lydecker is not the intellectual terminator of the fighter. He also did not enjoy the privilege. The opposite is true. Lydecker did not join the Navy and may have grown into a complete tramp, at best, step by step. Even in the armed forces, he can only pursue the humblest task, but he is at least thorough and tries to keep his nose clean. However, for the suspicion of the Lydecker incident to suspect his ability, he has been suspected of the suspicion caused by Pfitz's massive abuse and allegations, and the pilot is still responsible for providing services.
Pfeitz likes his work. This is very clear. He particularly likes napalm and likes to pile up a lot of the material in his jet into the rural population of Vietnam. He was involved in the technical improvement of his preferred weapon and improved to ensure that the fireball firmly grasped anything it encountered, so it was guaranteed to burn directly. If he approaches this movement, he will feel that Pfizer will like the smell, the burning organisms mix together and exude the smell of roast pork from the rotten human flesh. He is proud of his well done work.
Lydecker was downgraded and effectively killed when he got some chance to take a vacation. During this week in Saigon, he ruthlessly pursued two forms of entertainment, one from the bottle and the other between the sheets. But there is a girl who is different from others, and is busy with her own business. She received a noticeable universal and complete attempt, she was never on the bar on the bar hanger, and her meat was not sold. Bullying yourself in the workplace, one might expect Lydecker to sympathize with her ingenuity. But he also cares about her - if not more - despise others, and, besides he or insists on sympathy or longing to talk to her, more is forced by him, forcing him to only emphasize his right. Assertion assumes control. Lydecker's subsequent experience with the girl changed his perception of the world, but it was enough to influence events elsewhere, and his newly discovered conscience built a plan he might reuse.
In a short story, William Boyd elaborates on the class system embedded in the American self-proclaimed classless society. He confronts the clinical nature of the so-called modern war by recognizing horrible mistakes that make up for everything in its indiscriminate fire. He described sadism, revenge, conscience and retribution. He portrays economic and social exploitation sketches and shows how the community, and even society as a whole, is seen as being based on rude and ruthless claims of domination. All of this happened on less than twenty-five pages.
Other stories in the episode also have high standards. In order to review them, all of this will reproduce the book, because they are concise, often surprising, and sometimes humorous, which together constitute a supreme achievement.
