"Frigby's War" satirically tells the story of a young man, Pharcus Frigby, who was sent to Vietnam bearing a load of baggage stemming from his upbringing, his insecurities, and his perceptions about women, weezers, and war. He probably would have gone home carrying the same baggage except for what happened one dreadful night. It was a night when the war, with all its real and surrealistic horror, changed Frigby forever. Joseph Heller's Catch-22 used bizarre, humorous satire to illustrate the insanity of flying missions during World War II. Frigby's War uses similar subtle satire and dark humor as it crosses back and forth across the fine line between reality and delusion. It's what young Americans experienced when they were thrust into the surrealistic quagmire we called Vietnam.
