Sparta

by Roxana Robinson

Sparta

by Roxana Robinson

Conrad Farrell, with no military lineage but a deep understanding of Sparta's warrior ethos from his classics studies, enlists in the Marines after college. Roxana Robinson's 'Sparta' follows his difficult adjustment to life after serving four years in Iraq. Back in Katonah, New York, Conrad struggles to reconcile with his family and girlfriend, as the peace he fought for evades him. Despite no physical wounds or diagnosed psychological issues, he's trapped in a confusing reality, battling an inner turmoil that could shatter the life he once knew. 'Sparta' is an exploration of the invisible scars of war and an intimate portrayal of a veteran's silent battle back home.
