Abstract
A novel about four friends from Edmonton who are part of the military, and who serve in Afghanistan in 2007. Drawn from the author's experiences as a soldier in Afghanistan, Juiceboxers tenderly traces the story of a young man's journey from basic training, to the battlefields of Kandahar, to the oil fields of Alberta, braiding together questions of masculinity and militarism, friendship and violence, loss and trauma, and white supremacy and ideology.
