Old Man in a Baseball Cap

<p>Conceived in a storytelling workshop given by Spalding Gray <em>Old Man In a Baseball Cap</em> is not your typical story of World War II. Rochlin recounts in gritty detail how he--an ordinary young man--was thrust into outrageous circumstances during an extraordinary time. Whether he's bumping up against the army's bigotry because he's Jewish aiding in the delivery of a baby by cesarean section being ordered to obliterate a Hungarian village or parachuting from his plane in the middle of Yugoslavia and then walking 400 kilometers to safety with an amorous guide Rochlin captures the Intensely powerful experience of a teenager away from home for the first time. <em>Old Man In a Baseball Cap</em> is an astonishingly fresh candid look at the last good war. At once naive candid and wise Fred Rochlin's voice is unforgettable.</p>
