Description

A brilliant graphic memoir debut, this is a loving son's exploration of his tumultuous relationship with his father, told through the lens of the Vietnam War and its lasting effects long after returning home.

As a college dropout amidst the tumult of the 1960s and the Vietnam War, David Sciacchitano enlisted in the Air Force and volunteered to be sent overseas. An aircraft mechanic away from the front lines, David nevertheless experienced the chaos of war during the Tet Offensive and the 1975 evacuation. But although David returned home from the war with no physical injuries, it would be as if a part of him was forever left behind.

Set against one of the most tumultuous events of the 20th century, The Heart That Fed is a beautifully illustrated and moving story of trauma and love--told by a son seeking to understand a father forever changed by PTSD and the horrors of war.

Editorial Reviews

"Potent...Unlike many children of Vietnam veterans, Sciacchitano heard plenty...but the narrative is still structured as an investigation...conducting research and reconstructing his father [David]'s memories. Subtly sketched, with pops of emotive rawness in dialogue and evocative drawings, the book elegantly braids David's professional arc (military, Foreign Service, war victims' NGO work) with his psychological journey. The result is a complex and empathetic portrait of war and its consequences." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
