1958.
Herman Wouk's crude, tasteless comedy concentrated on forced humor and perversion.

"He was just head over ears in love, with a young woman as near as his hand and as remote as a star; and for the moment it was enough to be where she was." - Herman Wouk, The Winds of War

The #WindsOfWar (1971) and its sequel, the #WarAndRemembrance” (1978) complete episodes on #YouTube, are based on well-researched #WW2 novels by #HermanWouk of the same names. Decades later, after they were published, these novels continue to have something to teach us.

Remember this, if you can--there is nothing, nothing more precious than time. You probably feel you have a measureless supply of it, but you haven't. Wasted hours destroy your life just as surely at the beginning as at the end--only in the end it becomes more obvious. Herman Wouk, The Caine Mutiny

Title: Herman Wouk Is Still Alive (2011) Author: Stephen King Vote: 6/10
Tale of everyday life, almost boring until the unexpected happens which devastates the lives of at least seven people and the death of half of them. In a short time you go from a normal life even if with some problems to the most complete disaster. The craziest thing is that it doesn't seem so unlikely.
Precisely in its normality, the story is disturbing. It doesn't talk about monsters or paranormal phenomena and yet there is something scary in this story: the difficulties of life.
