Like most of the other young American men on the airbase, Severin is mad for Virginia Kindwall, the base general's daughter, who is a \u003ci\u003ehafu\u003c\/i\u003e-half American and half Japanese. Beautiful, smart, and utterly defiant of a father who wields godlike military power, Virginia has become a petty criminal in the Japanese underground that lurks in the mad neon netherworld just outside the base, around the nearby rail station's Exit A.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Severin is soon caught up in Virginia's world. But their romance is short-lived as they find themselves in trouble way over their heads and subjected to the enormous, unforgiving tensions that remain between America and Japan in the wake of World War II. Years later, Severin and Virginia remain lost to each other -- until an emotionally frayed, thirty-something Severin embarks on a quest to find Virginia, and reclaim the part of himself taken from him when his boyhood abruptly ended.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Like \u003ci\u003eJarhead\u003c\/i\u003e before it, Anthony Swofford's \u003ci\u003eExit A\u003c\/i\u003e is darkly irreverent, frankly erotic, and more than a little wicked, a tale told in a brooding, pained voice filled with the simple human fury of being alive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audio CD [40]","offer_id":49348200923440,"sku":"40abso","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49348200890672,"sku":"BDabso","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/171398-abso-Square.jpg?v=1734215766","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-abso","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
