My English teacher was telling me of this book where a man was in war and got his face and limbs blown away and basically was just a stub who couldn't see, talk, or communicate in any way but could still think clearly and hear everything. Ring any bells?
I really need the name or author at least. Thanks.
TThe name of a book containing a man from war whos face/limbs have been blown off?
Try Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo-- very powerful book. I read it in high school. The description from wikipedia:
A World War I-era American soldier in a hospital realizes that he was hit by an artillery shell and lost his arms, legs, ears and most of his face. The remaining torso and head is being kept alive by machines.
