...gained from it. It is too diffuse. The reader enters into Vietnam, finds himself there, but without a story to guide him through, he ends up as lost as the protagonists. In Johnson’s attempt to generate higher meaning, his characters always conceive of Vietnam as a metaphor. They never recognize it as being what it is, but rather as a symbol for something else.

...avalanche-like noise on a recent rainy night proved to be an architectural metaphor for the fate of Nicaragua's erstwhile elite: In a matter of 30 seconds, the front half of a grand colonial adobe mansion collapsed into the street in a pile of muddy rubble, revealing the wobbly structure that holds together the homes and social class of the country's former oligarchy...
