Loose Reads on 95BFM - Billy Lynn's Halftime Walk by Ben Fountain

Every two weeks, Jenna reviews a music themed book for the Loose Reads feature on 95BFM's Breakfast Show.


This week Jenna spoke to Vince about Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk by Ben Fountain. This is a fantastic contemporary classic and has been proclaimed as the Catch-22 of the Iraq war.
Set in one day, 19 year old Billy is in the midst of a victory tour around the USA. A week before he was fighting in the Iraq conflict, the next week he would be back. But for now he is riding in limousines and about to be involved in the Superbowl halftime show, featuring Destiny's Child.

You can listen to the review here. 


Here is the Destiny's Child show that sparked Fountain to write the book.
