Biloxi Blues is the second of Neil Simon's trilogy of autobiographical plays 
which appeared on Broadway and the big screen. This wry comedy follows the 
continuing story of Simon's alter ego, a young Jew from Brooklyn named Eugene 
Jerome, who enlists in the army toward the end of World War II. While in 
bootcamp, Eugene discovers that many of the same soldiers who are eager to 
fight the Nazis are also anti-Semitic. 

In the steamy heat of Biloxi, Mississippi, budding writer Eugene encounters 
the absurdities of army life, including endless drills, dense bunkmates, and 
chipped beef on toast. But he also discovers that his compulsive wisecracking 
grates on his tough drill sergeant, who just happens to be psychotic. Will 
Eugene survive ten grueling weeks in fatigues?
