THE THINGS THEY CARRIED is a powerful amalgam of fact and fiction, memoir and fantasy. Author Tim O’Brien’s masterful storytelling immerses the reader in the sights, sounds, feelings, and even tastes of the Vietnam War. By sharing the experiences of those who served on the front lines, as well as the effects the War had on their lives long after it was over, O’Brien has created an unforgettable, sobering, and thought-provoking masterpiece.
