Abstract

Lackland is an epistolary novel with autobiographical and metafictional elements, a consciously uncomfortable collage of real and imagined letters, stories, essays, memories and fantasies. A real-life correspondence forms the novel’s skeleton, comprising the transcribed and fictionalized letters sent between a mother and her son during the month of September 1998, while he attends Air Force basic training.
