The Box Summary
In 'The Box', Jack is a homeless war veteran who lives in a cardboard box, in a wooded area of St. Augustine. He has been on the move since 1968. Jack is coaxed out of his box by a reporter who persuades him to participate in an interview. He is a philosopher, a lover, a fighter, and a theologian.
