A Minor Engagement and Other Stories
THE REUNION (The New International Library, Inc.) “I have read your book, called THE REUNION with interest and excitement. I think of the originality of the whole conception and swift pace with which you carry it off.” Mark Shorer, writer and critic. THE LION’S SHARE (Avranches Press) “Thanks for the gift of THE LION’S SHARE, which I’ve read practically in one sitting with considerable admiration. The book is wonderfully readable.” Paul Fussell, author of the classical study of war, THE GREAT WAR AND MODERN MEMORY. “Thanks for sending me your novel THE LION’S SHARE, which I have now read and enjoyed very much. You have a wonderful way with words and scenes. As Paul Fussel says, the book is wonderfully readable.” Stephen E. Ambrose, author of CITIZEN SOLDIERS. “I liked your book (THE LION’S SHARE). It rings true. Only someone who was there could have written it.” John Toland, author of BATTLE: THE STORY OF THE BULGE. THE BATTLE FOR SNOW MOUNTAIN (Pocol Press) “I’ve never read a more powerful anti-war novel than THE BATTLE FOR SNOW MOUONTAIN, not that it’s an anti-war novel in an ideological sense or a political novel. The reader shares the fact that no one knew what was going on, the blinding snowstorms working beautifully. There is the quixotic pair, idealistic and realistic, but again not as symbols, but as real people.” John Dizikes, formerly Professor in the American Studies Program at the University of California, Santa Cruz.. TOM’S WAR (Avranches Press) “The poems (in TOM’S WAR) have clarity, force, the feeling of a true and heartfelt report.” Robert Pinsky, formerly Poet Laureate. NEW VISTAS (Avranches Press) “Many thanks for sending me NEW VISTAS. I’ve been reading the poems with great pleasure.” Stephen Greenblatt, author of the highly acclaimed book on Shakespeare, WILL IN THE WORLD. “I thank you for the your wonderful poems in NEW VISTAS, so vivid and fresh. I read them slowly over several months and very much enjoyed them.” Jay Parini, author of the excellent book, ROBERT FROST, THE LIFE.

About the Author

Still writing and publishing into his nineties, Donald J. Young continues to be a marvel of creativity. A Harvard graduate, Young has penned novels (The Reunion, The Battle for Snow Mountain), novellas (The Ascending Star and Other Stories) and poetry collections (The Collected Poems, The Shore of the Unknown, Illumination, Sonnets on Shakespeare, and Selected Poems), among others. He also served as a soldier and POW in World War II, which illuminates much of his writing, and taught creative writing in Massachusetts, California, and in London.
