“Minor Accident of War” is based on a true story written and narrated by the man who lived it — Edward Field, 95 yr old WWll veteran. In 1945, hanging on to one of the two rafts in the freezing cold water, a decision was made that to this day has affected Field. Field is a significant voice in LGBT literature and the literary world at large. He was recently inducted into the NY Veterans Hall of Fame and honored by SAGEvets, the largest organization dedicated to improving the lives of elderly LGBT veterans.
