Styron's "In the Clap Shack" is a powerful look at the military and medicine, mixed into a deadly concoction that drives men mad. In this short three act play, Magruder is confined to a hospital ward with a case of syphilis. But when Doctor Granz discovers that something else caused his false diagnosis, Magruder erupts.

Two extraordinary works about soldiers in a time of dubious peace by a writer of vast eloquence and moral authority. With stylistic panache and vitriolic wit, William Styron depicts conflicts between men of somewhat more than average intelligence and the military machine. In The Long March, a novella, two Marine reservists fight to retain their dignity while on a grueling exercise staged by a posturing colonel. The uproariously funny play In the Clap Shack charts the terrified passage of a young recruit through the prurient inferno of a Navy hospital VD ward. In both works, Styron wages a gallant defense of the free individual--and serves up a withering indictment of a system that has no room for individuality or freedom.

To continue the lack of redeeming qualities, the characters were one dimensional and vapid and the storytelling was lackluster. Paragraphs lasted several pages for no reason. ( )
