Losing Tim

4.3/5 ( ratings)

"Losing Tim" is a memoir by a mother about a soldier son who killed himself. It’s a beautiful read. Burroway, a National Book Award nominee, welcomes readers to grieve along with her, while also providing a lens into how soldiers, and military contractors, like her son, are changed by their combat experiences. Jonathan Shay, author of "Achilles in Vietnam: Combat Trauma and the Undoing of Character," a highly acclaimed volume on PTSD, and a 2007 MacArthur Foundation Fellow, comments in the foreword, “To me, the pain recalls Homer's 'Iliad,' in which, as James Tatum puts it in 'The Mourner's Song,' 'the beauty [of the poetry] is in the killing.’” And Pulitzer Prize winner Madeleine Blais calls is "an elegy and a call to action from one of our finest writers."
