| Dealing with Demons, released December 2010, is a remarkable memoir of a marriage troubled by mental illness and spanning forty years and two worlds, of what it looked like, sounded like, smelled like, but most of all what it felt like, all carefully recounted by the one who suffered through the final, terrible climax. Literature is replete with such accounts, their component parts, the good, the bad and the ugly; amateur psychoanalysis too often and unnecessarily pronounced with faux profundity.Haunted by nightmares; incidents attendant to this marriage and an overpowering sense of irrevocable loss, the author revisits and recounts events that would have driven others mad. In a moving moment informed by the pent up emotional drama of this forty-plus year saga, the author arrives at a profound understanding of the meaning of marriage and love so very different from his youthful expectation, agreeing finally and forever with those ancient words of wisdom and truth: “faith, hope, love, abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” See the Video Trailer at Amazon's Peter M.

Released 12 April 2012, Punchy Company is an expose of the day-to-day life lived by soldiers, sailors, and airmen, recounted with directness, feeling, and truth. Adeptly written, it describes in great detail what service in Korea looked like, sounded like, smelled like, but most of all of what it felt like. Mr. Solstad addresses the simple realities of soldier behavior, both on and off duty; how their actions circumvented behavioral guardrails they would not otherwise dodge at home. With a frankness seldom encountered, the story is told just as it happened. This well-written, frank portrayal of military life in Korea, will appeal to all who have served there, as well as to their wives, who might want to know more about what their husbands really did there. A forthright remembrance, it will enlighten and clarify truths of the era, while providing a better appreciation of how it has impacted present day Korea.
