The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien

Discussion led by Dr. Vara Neverow

A ground-breaking meditation on war, memory, imagination and the redemptive power of storytelling.

This story depicts the men of Alpha Company and the character Tim O’Brien, who has survived his tour in Vietnam to become a father and writer at the age of forty-three.

Taught everywhere—from high school classrooms to graduate seminars in creative writing—it has become required reading for any American and continues to challenge readers in their perceptions of fact and fiction, war and peace, courage and fear and longing.

This title will be available for check out approximately one month before the discussion date.
