Wartime Memoirs of Drunken Debauchery

The online literary magazine Brdman.com originally published Wartime Memoirs of Drunken Debauchery as Dr. Brdman’s first collection of memoirs, but The Artistic Lifestyle and Matthew J Brdecka are publishing the second edition as a collection of poetry, memoirs, and personal essays in order to better facilitate the artists' intent. Wartime Memoirs of Drunken Debauchery follows Matthew's progression from Private First Class Brdecka to Sergeant Brdecka and the positive and negative impacts of alcohol consumption on his honorable and highly decorated service. Brdman’s raw confessional writing style is loaded with sarcasm and wit and fluctuates between poetic verse and narrative prose while alternating tone and form in order to promulgate his constant state of cognitive dissonance. Unapologetically, Matthew pontificates his lifelong struggles with faith, love, sexual promiscuity, childhood abandonment, gynecomastia, death, and perpetual alcohol abuse, which hindered his development as a leader of Marines and as a man. Developing severe hypogonadism and losing the ability to produce testosterone at the end of his career coerced Matthew to reevaluate his life of mass destruction and steer him eventually towards sobriety. Not every chapter will make you laugh, and not every chapter will make you cry, but in the end, Wartime Memoirs of Drunken Debauchery (WMDs) leaves readers in shock and awe. Read more
