Desert Mementos synopsis

Desert Mementos is a collection of loosely related short stories during the early stages of the Iraq war (2004 and 2005). Stories from battles with insurgents and the war machine in Iraq go to Nevada, where the characters are either preparing for the war, evading it during their vacation, or returning home after seeing what I saw.

The cage captures similarities in desert landscapes in both Iraq and Nevada, but it is not just a study of contradictory landscapes. Related stories explore similarities and differences in human needs from the perspective of very different cultures.

Specifically, the stories brilliantly illuminate the overlap of the desert landscape of each region, the different cultures and worldviews, and the common need for hope. Collectively, the stories represent the arc of deployment of young soldiers for a full year.

Cage's stories are combined with the intense experiences of the soldier in the desert, which were booked by leaving home and returning to Nevada, which can often be confused like patrols in the Iraqi desert.
