David Knudsen, an articulate young photographer who tells his own story, is the son of an important physicist who happens to have been one of the men that designed the atomic bomb. The central event in David’s life occurs one morning in the Pacific when a hydrogen test bomb is detonated and an unexpected shift in the wind carries the fallout to the island where he and some other soldiers have been stationed to provide meteorological data. Elliott uses David’s radiation sickness and the coincidence of his father’s responsibility to get hold of his subject in a direct way, to engage his issues on the immediate personal level where they are lived and take effect as feelings. 1962. T8.
