I wonder how much they'll massacre the language?
The NEA this week is unveiling “Operation Homecoming,” in which troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan will attend workshops run by such writers as Tom Clancy, Tobias Wolff and James McBride. The best submissions will be published in an anthology, scheduled to come out at the end of 2005.

“I’ve always believed that one of the signs of a healthy society is when all aspects of that society communicate with each other,” Gioia said.

Twenty-six authors will participate in “Operation Homecoming,” which Gioia expects to get under way this summer. The program has an initial budget of $300,000, with $250,000 donated from Boeing, Inc., a leading defense contractor. Gioia said the Boeing money comes without restrictions and that submissions will be based on artistic merit, not on whether they’re pro- or anti-war.
