Much more than a war memoir, \u003cem\u003eDust to Dust\u003c\/em\u003e brilliantly explores the passage through a lifetime—a moving meditation on life and death, the adventures of childhood and revelations of adulthood. Seemingly ordinary things take on a breathtaking radiance when examined by this decorated Marine officer—veteran of two combat tours in Iraq—actor on the hit HBO series \u003cem\u003eThe Wire\u003c\/em\u003e, and son of acclaimed novelist Frederick Busch. Above all, Benjamin Busch is a truly extraordinary new literary talent as evidenced by his exemplary debut, \u003cem\u003eDust to Dust\u003c\/em\u003e—an original, emotionally powerful, and surprisingly refreshing take on an American soldier’s story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070158258416,"sku":"9780062096784","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780062096784_p0.jpg?v=1769912760","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780062096784","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
