The Almost Perfect Man: The Vietnam War Seen Through the Eyes of a Deserter. Narrator Cal Dicer is one of many deserters telling the story of the Vietnam War beginning with the years marking the withdrawal of U.S. troops. Cal’s story is intertwined with another deserter’s life, a beautiful woman and Viet Cong soldier named Q. The Almost Perfect Man is about war but it is also about a search for a pot of gold, for the ideals of life, and a search for eternal love. The Almost Perfect Man evolves into a spiritual vision, a vision that most of us, or many of us, or some of us seek in our own lives.
