1949
In “1949,” Martin weaves together three compelling narratives.
The first belongs to James Trudell, a veteran of WWII and a survivor of the bloody Battle for Iwo Jima.
The second narrative in “1949”concerns Tandy Trudell. Tandy is antithetical to both James, his father, and Richie Hardin, his lifelong friend. Tandy is a straight arrow, small town real estate mogul. Throughout the book he has a dialogue with Richie Hardin, a failed writer/journalist, who escaped the Deep South. Richie’ narrative holds the three stories together.
