BEN FOUNTAIN - GEBRAUCHT BILLY LYNNS LONG HALFT...

A finalist for the National Book Award! Three minutes and forty-three seconds of intense
warfare with Iraqi insurgents has transformed the eight surviving men of Bravo Squad into
America's most sought-after heroes. Now they're on a media-intensive nationwide tour to
reinvigorate support for the war. On this rainy Thanksgiving  the Bravos are guests of the
Dallas Cowboys  slated to be part of the halftime show alongside Destiny's Child. Among the
Bravos is Specialist Billy Lynn. Surrounded by patriots sporting flag pins on their lapels and
Support Our Troops bumper stickers  he is thrust into the company of the Cowboys' owner and his
coterie of wealthy colleagues  a born-again Cowboys cheerleader  a veteran Hollywood producer 
and supersized players eager for a vicarious taste of war. Over the course of this day  Billy
will drink and brawl  yearn for home and mourn those missing  face a heart-wrenching decision 
and discover pure love and a bitter wisdom far beyond his years.
