Inhalt
Five people's dreams, obsessions and failures interweave in this atmospheric novel of life in a peace-time army camp. In the US Deep South is a fort that contains a group of men and women trapped in a stifling and repetitive existence. At the center is secret aesthete, figurative eunuch, and kleptomaniac Captain Weldon Penderton, a repressed homosexual whose desires are so internalized that the only expression they can find is rage and despair. Routinely and masochistically he becomes enamored of his wife's lovers. Rounding out the cast is the introverted Private Williams, a somnambulistic young man and undetected murderer who awakens to a new level of consciousness and strange longing after coming into contact with Leonora, whose horse, Firebird, he stables. This novella was written in 1941 and its underlying sexual tones are well ahead of its time. From extra marital affairs to homosexuality with a little voyeurism mixed in, we get a very unique picture of a Southern army base in the 1940s.
