Howard Kapostash, the hero of Dave King's debut novel, "The Ha-Ha," has a lot to tell the world, but an injury to his left temporal lobe sustained during a 16-day tour in the Vietnam War has left him without the ability to speak, read or write.
From the outside, at least, Howie has been totally cut off from the world for 30 years, although he can function on every other level. He works as a landscaper for a local convent, and he shares his home with Laurel, a Vietnamese-American woman who makes soup for local restaurants, and two housepainters.
